Does 64 Bit Machines (Dual Processors) Need A 64 Bit?
Nov 7, 2008I don't know if this was asked before, please forgive me if this is just a repeat. I am new in the forum.
Does 64bit machines (Dual Processors or Quad etc) need a 64bit Vista to maximize its capabilities? I noticed that new PCs and Laptops shipped today have pre-installed Vista but 32bit OS . . . why is this? Or does it really matter? Please explain this puzzling mystery to a non-techie like me.
Multiple Instances Of App And One Db Across I7's Processors
Mar 8, 2009I'm trying to run multiple instances of a single (statistical) application on an Intel i7 machine so the instances can take advantages of all the processors. I have one wrinkle where I hope all the experts here would be able to help out. This application uses an MS Access db where all the data is stored. Ideally, it would be great if Vista and i7 would parallel process one instance of the app and the single db across all the processors. But after reading what multiple processors really means for today's apps, I realize that multiple processing/threading is an application issue. This is a statistical application that's not programmed for multi-processnig/threading.
So far, I was able to run two instances of the app against the single db. One instance as the admin user (I'm not sure if my terminology is correct) and another as admin. This is within the same user account. Both instances run different statistics against the same db on different processors. So i'm maximizing two processors.
Now can the experts out there tell me how I could launch two more instances of that app while still using the same db? I tried launching a third within the admin user accout but it said one instance already running. So I tried launching the third as admin but again said instance running. I also created another user account and ran it but it couldn't open the existing db. It need another db. I tried running as admin and still same.
Split The Work Load Between Both Processors
Jan 20, 2009I have just purchased Halo 2 for Microsoft Windows Vista. It runs but there is one problem......It runs choppy when in a room with multiple people or a lot of "action". I have the graphics turned as low as possible and the screen resolution all the way down too. One thing i did notice is that when running the game it only runs off one of my Intel Pentium Core 2 processors. My questions is: Does anyone know how to fix the problem? Is there a way to split the work load between both processors?
