Hello all, I was wondering what kind of performacne increase one could expect (if any) when running a chess engine that is _not_ designed for multiple processors on a multiprocessor machine. For example, say I have a performance of X on a single processor machine. What performance can I expect with two processors? I can see where this might approach 2X for a program designed for dual operation, but what about one that is not? Let's assume also that I am running win2K. The reason I ask is that I've looked at dual machines running Matlab 5.x, which I've been told is not compiled for dual processors. And when you look at the processor utilization under NT, it shows the same utilization for both processors. Thanks! Bob
