Assign a Program or Process to a Specific CPU running on Windows 7

On systems with multiple processors or multiple cores, Windows 7 lets you specify which CPU should handle a particular process.

Share your Windows 7 tips and tweaks.If you have a dual-core or multiprocessor system, you can assign a process to a specific processor. But you can only do this after the process is already running. To do this, open the Task Manager and go to the Proc esses tab. Right-click the process you want to assign and choose Set Affinity. A dialog box will appear, letting you select the processor you want the process to use.

If all CPUs are selected, Windows will set the process affinity as it sees fit.
