Hi
I hope this is aimed at the correct people.
Can anyone tell me if an old program which looks like an old 16-bit app is likely to make use of multi-core CPUs?
I mean will running the app on a 2.4GHz quad core have any benefit over a 3.8GHz single core. Being an old app is it going to make use of the multi-core CPU or is it going to run on only one of the cores? Or doesn't this matter at all and more cores = more speed?
i.e. What would be the benefit of running the 16 bit app on a dual quad core server (i.e. 2 quad cores, meaning 8 cores)
Would it run on 1 of the 8 cores or would it be ridiculously fast and run on all 8 because it doesn't know what CPU to bind to?
Thanks!
