    Boot up 1 or 4 Cores


    Hello All

    I have a ? on boot/up.
    Do I setup to boot with one core like it is, or boot 2 or 3 & 4 core?
    What is the best setup on i7.

    This is on a Dell 435T/9000 i7.

    Thanks for your time guys & gals

    From my experience and testing, toggling this has never made 1 bit of difference on any machine I have ever used. I've read about this tweak for years now...but have never seen this thing make a single difference.

    So, on my boxes, it's unchecked.

    It is used for debugging and testing ONLY. These options only disable not enable.
    As long as the checkbox is unchecked, the value in the box is ignored.

    Leave it alone, forever. Never open this dialog ever again.
