Default Set Affinity Theory

Hello, Is it possible to set affinity so that one processor will deal with a game and the other with ALL the background tasks. Because set affinity only works for single processes!...

Default Set Affinity Theory

You're trying to influence the scheduler to keep the game active? That's more a function of increasing the default processor priority for the game rather than manipulating affinities. That'll guarantee you a processor while all the background tasks fight among themselves for access to the other. Sort of - you'll obviously get left without a processor if you're idle, and you might be idle in processing terms more often than you'd expect. That doesn't mean you're swapped out and under an overhead to restart.
