Saw this on Chris Pirillo’s site – these instruction are for Vista but I did it on my Acer Core Duo laptop and it works like a charm. Just select the BOOT.INI tab and then advanced – there’s a entry for number of processors. I put in 2 and works for me.
Here’s the original instructions:
- Click on Start>Run
- type msconfig and click OK.
- Once that box opens, click on the bootup tab.
- Under the Boot tab, click on Advanced
- Click the box next to the number of Cores, and choose the proper number from the dropdown box.
- Apply and save the changes. Your computer may require a reboot. If it does, go ahead and do so, and notice the difference!
