Do you think its a utilisation problem? (im not using cool n quiet so havent applied the dual core patch)
Is it still not a good idea to encode and use p.c. even with a dual core?
Thanks for thoughts |
Try installing the various dual core patches (IIRC, there is one from AMD and one from Microsoft). The problem is the Windows XP scheduler tends to constantly ping pong single threaded tasks from one core to the other. Ms will eventually fix this in a service patch, but as they are falling behind on Vista and want people to buy that instead, they have delayed SP3 for XP for who knows how long.
Your other choice is to manually force affinity to a single core and see if that improves things.
