Re^4: How much computational speed boost occurs for CALL64 and multi processors??

Dear Alex,
Did it as you suggested.. But really don't know how to feel the difference now? As far as I have noticed (on Win7 only), all the processors seem to work everytime, as I keep monitoring them every now and then. They seem to use all 4 threads (on i3).

Regards,
