Neil, That is not what you said in your previous emails. My email was in reply to your in which you mentioned nothing about premptive assignage of processes to processors. The comment was it simply can't be done. I responded by saying that, in fact, it can be done...even though it might not be practical. Lucas W.

No it's not. With affinity thru task manager you can set it retrospectively. You cannot pre-emptively assign a new process. And once that process has end, and perhaps invocated again, all that affinity is lost. You need something rules based to do that - either third party, high-end package, or write it yourself. > If you open Task Manager > under Win2k, you are able to set affinity to what processes=20 > run on what processors.

Indeed - but you can only do that reactively. Think about this in practice, with a working farm of terminal servers, how, *realistically* could you use task manager to do this? Affinity is just that, it won't do anything for new processes, nor anything for other instances of the same image, nor remember something once that process has ended.
