Specify Cores just for WoW

[Bolikk]

Hey guys.

Just got a new 6 core processor (Phenom 1100t) and I was wondering if theres a way to specify two cores just for WoW? I know WoW doesn't use more than two cores at any given time so is there a way I can take two of my cores and have them only run WoW?

I hope that makes enough sense. lol.

You can always try running wow, Alt-Tabbing.. Opening up your Task-Manager, Find Wow.exe Right click it.. Click "Set Affinity" and Specify which cores WoW Can use... However, I don't think these settings stick, Meaning.. Once you close wow, and re-open it.. You'll have to repeat the same thing over >_<!

You know wrong, WoW can and will use any number of cores right out of the box. lol.

Changing the settings is not recommended to even try unless you know 100% surely what you're doing, or you're running Intel CPU with HyperThreading.

Manually setting processor affinity is about the worst thing you can do unless you're 110% sure of what you're doing.
