2 out of 4 CPUs used in win7, 0 and 1, or 2 and 3, or??
I've got an odd setup and an odd puzzle. I've looked a bunch of places online and haven't found the answer, or a way I might be able to find the answer.
I have a quad Opteron CPU box (8 cores total), with 30gb of mem (for now), and I want to put the fast memory on the CPU sockets that are seen by windows 7, and the slower stuff on the 2 sockets that are not seen by windows 7. How can I see what 2 CPU's are being used by win7 (out of the 4)?
I can boot into server R2 to get all the CPU goodness, but at some point I know that some software will not want to run on R2, but will be ok with win7. Its a pity I can't find the reg setting for realcpulimit, and bump that from 2 to 4.
I know that win7 ultimate can only see 2 physical CPUs/sockets, and I can live with that, the question in my mind is, where to go from here to figure out what 2 sockets/CPUs win7 is using?
Thanks.
