re: which patches optimise XP for multi core processors? Monday, May 11, 2009 at 2:02 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kristian (30 messages posted) Thanks for your answer. Your first line sums it up then. I thought I read somewhere that sp3 contained some more optimisations (some claim their system runs faster with it), but not everyone agrees on that. The bottomline is then , I can simply do with what I have. Security wise, I have no reason to patch either, less is more :-). Instead of making faster processors we get more of them. Indeed multiple cores depend on how they are utilised and one may wonder whether Intel or Amd know how to do that in the first place. Multi-threaded code is the way to go they say. True parallelised code is only for typical number crunching software feasible. Written in response to: which patches optimise XP for multi core processors?
