Hello, I'm new to the forum, so give me a break.
Anyway, I have an HP Pavilion dv9000 series, and I have a problem
Any game or otherwise cpu intensive program I run, the laptop will only use a fraction of the processing power it has to actually run it.
A good example is Second Life. I take a look at my processes and it will only be using about 18%-25%. I know Second Life does not support dual core affinity, but when I disable the second core, one would expect the processing to increase since the laptop is only using one core, and therefore should try to be using it to its fullest.
I had a similar problem with Neverwinter Nights. When I scripted the game to use only one core, the processing went up a bit, but still wasn't maximizing the core it was using.
My question is, is this a problem with Second Life or my laptop? If it is the latter, does anyone have any fixes for this problem? I've trolled the internet and HP's help center and found nothing, so I've resolved to try and join a few forums to get some answers.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated
