equilibriumuk Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I've only just noticed this part of the forum I thought I'd post here as I notice there are some screenshots of people running parallels on osx86 systems. I have a problem where parallels crashes on dual core, but if I boot on cpus=1 (single core) it works fine, altho the system obviously feels slower I was just wondering if anyone has it running on dual core on osx86 and also if there is a way of setting a programs cpu affinity like in winblows.

munky Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 does activity monitor not do affinity stuff? i cant remember, but i thought it did. (at work on winxp just now so cant check) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39977-parallels-crashing-on-dual-core/#findComment-285424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

equilibriumuk Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 The only info on setting affinity I can find for bsd and osx seems to state it is only supported by the kernel But I have found a article about being able to do it in linux. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/setting-proc...or-process.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39977-parallels-crashing-on-dual-core/#findComment-285443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
equilibriumuk Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 I've found out why it was crashing on dual core now I ran my system at the default clock and parallels ran perfect, no crashes etc. So now I've upped my CPU VCore it seems to be stable so far. I just booted into windows in parallels and installed some apps etc, ran scandisk etc. It's amazing how much faster parallels is on dual core in comparison to single core. Altho in both cases it's faster than VMWare Fusion.
