I have some questions and they are seemed to be related with all of vistas glorious operating system any-who
Q1. Is it possible to change the work load of each processor? Ex: Say I'm doing two things but one of the things i want running on that processor and the other on the second..
Q2. I will be upgrading to 4Gbs of memory this weekend is is the bios is where i tweak the mem timings? and how fast can i crank it up (if it matters on money that shouldnt be the issue.)
Thank you for all your help in adv. Thank you Computing.net for letting these kind folks assist me on my computer difficulties :) Great Site!!! A++

You cannot change the workload of each processor. It is dependent on the OS and how well the programmers code their software for multi-core processor operation.
Memory overclocking is dependent on the cooling system and PSU of your PC. You have to try to change memory timings in small increments to see how fast you can go.
