Setting Processor priority |
|---|
| message from The Old Timer on 7 Jun 2004 |
I have just been told that somewhere in XP you can set the amount of
processing power assigned to any one task. If this is the case does this
mean that I can tell XP to run labor intensive jobs like video rendering or
encoding video in the background? If you set the figure down to a lower
level say 40% does it stay at this level all of the time until you change it
again or does it slow up to that level only when other jobs are also
running? In other words if the other things that are also running complete
there job do you have then to increase the speed up yourself or will
remaining jobs automatically increase until another process is started?
Where do you find these settings?

Hi,
You can establish priority for processes in Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt +
Del) going to the second tab, processes, right-clicking the process in
question and selecting the priority.
