Will Inner Space/Isboxer be able to make use of 6 cores?

Post by Treesong » Tue Jun 15, 2010 3:17 pm

I am currently running 3 instances of LOTRO on my Dual Core 8500 system and it is managing it, though barely. 4 instances will kill it though which is no surprise. I am due for a serious upgrade for my computer anyway and was wondering if the new 6-core processors (Gulftown and the new AMD CPU) would help me run at least 5 instances of LOTRO on my new rig? Not sure if choosing the cores is a feature of Inner Space or Isboxer itself, just wondering wether the software will be able to make use of those cores and use an instance per core.

Very happy with my Isboxer purchase btw, thanks for developing this great tool. It obsoleted the computer farm I had gathered over the years. :)

It's a feature of Inner Space, but you configure it through ISBoxer :) In each Slot of your Character Set there's a box to let you pick the CPU cores. By default, ISBoxer selects all of the available cores -- Windows is "supposed to" balance the load "best". But, whether it does or not is up for debate. I select different cores per slot myself.

Anyway, yes ISBoxer will help you spread the CPU usage around however you like

I run 4 instances of LotRO with a quad-core, no problems there. So more would only be better.
