RE: TI-H: USB Link




Not quite correct.  I'm assuming you'd use NT here, so...

Any multi-threaded software will take advantage of the extra processor
whether it was written specifically to take advantage of an extra processor
or not.

w/o a dual proc, NT simulates multi-threading, but it's not true
multi-threading (running two tasks at the same time).  However, w/ dual
proc, NT just spits the different threads off to different procs.

Sincerely,

Bruce
