How does Windows label core0/1/2/3? In which rotation and manner? (diagram)

If we can find out how then we can disable the same core2 always. When Windows usually disables a core, it will do it in numerical order only, rather than picking a core in-between to disable (i.e. core 3/4). That's a limitation I've not yet surpassed yet but maybe I have and don't know how to test up on it.

MSI Tech. 02/20/2008 Like we have stated, is there going to ever be the ability to disable certain cores on the amd quad chips? The answer is no.
That means they've stopped major BIOS production to me and withdrew their resources elsewhere (rev2.0/P45/X48/780/790). So they're now just going to spend very light and easy resources and fixes to the present BIOSes after many months now and then. This is inline with what I'm seeing here. The last BIOS P0H is now 30 days old. If they don't produce a decent better BIOS than 1.2 out officially, I would not recommend buying the board out clear.
