Re: It was running something. Task Manager showed a load on all 4 cores.

You can get task manager to register 100% CPU load by running almost anything. For example, a simple script that runs a stable set of instructions in a tight loop would load 100% in task manager, but it won't mean the CPU is doing anything useful.

I hate having to repeat myself, but a demo running an actual workload - ANY workload - would have been better than showing task manager.

Task Manager showed a load on all 4 cores.

Was the load the 64 bit screen savers that AMD used so proudly in the past to show the merit of 64 bit processing?

CombJelly,

Didn't it show all four cores on all four processors
(16 cores)?

{some stripped down windows, eh? :) }
