Can someone please tell me how to set affinity for 2 runs of SuperPi?
I have 2 different SPi folders on my c drive.

open both instances, ctrl+alt+delete, go to processes tab, right-click on each, and set one of them to cpu/0, and the other to cpu/1

Are you sure....? If I start only one instance, it will utilise both cores, 50% each.

Thanks, that did it!So, can you actually run 2 x SPi32M (side by side) from the same folder?
No, they will both try and access the same files, you have to run them from separate folders but he said he was doing that already, then you can just set affinity to each one and voila. I always seem to get a longer time by a few seconds on the second one that I start and it shows less available memory.. If I don't set affinity both of my cores get the same time.

There is no need to set afinity unless you like wasting time. It will auto load both cores with 2 instances running.
