Rnning mastercam X2 on a core 2 duo processor

[Kim Frandsen]

We bought a new pc not long a go, it's a intel core 2 duo running at 2.66ghz, 4gb ram, asus p5 mb, nvidia geforce 8800gts if i remember correct.

Our old pc a dell p4 3.0ghz was getting a littel slow, so we went for the new one, but it isn't as fast as i hoped for, when i open the windows task manager - performance, i can see that the to processor cores is running at a max of 50%, dosen't mastercam X2 mr1 not support 2 processors or could i have a problem with my configuration?

I dont think it does yet, you can try and set affinity.

I have noticed a difference with MCX if I set the affinity to both processor 0 and 1 (0 only is default) when running another app (Vericut for example). On its own MCX will not get above 50% processor usage.

Mastercam only "sees" one processor...it cannot take advantage of 2 or more processors.
