I have seen a lot of questions on how to do this on a mac for testing purposes. Activity Monitor’s CPU pane is nice, but if you want a bigger picture of what’s going on inside your Mac’s CPU, navigate to /Library/Application Support/HWPrefs and launch the CPUPalette program. (If you don’t find it there, insert your Leopard install disc, click on Optional Installs, select Packages, and double-click on CHUD.pkg; that will install CPUPalette.) It will display two graphs showing how busy your CPU’s cores are, and let you disable one or more of them.


Gear List? My gear is bigger than yours? Just shoot have fun...

No, I think your mistaken, we all know that anything a PC can do, a Mac do better.
All that is missing is the correct shortcut key combination, that lets you select which core to active with out even having to open a seperate application.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
