multi-core processor .................

Those of you that have a multi-core processor, can you slow-down by disabling
one of the processors? Is there some other way of slowing-down besides using
a slow-down utility that keeps the processor busy?

Open the task manager and set the affinity of each process to the same core.
I don't know if this would slow it down but it's the only thing I can think
of. I would be worried about overheating that area of the CPU though.

Slow-down utilities heat-up even a single core processor! I wish there was
some other way of slowing-down.

Remove the multi core processor from your PC. Install a Pentium 4, then you
won't have the heat issues and it will be slower.

Problem Solved. Just FYI.

Why in the world do you want to slow it down?

Replace it with a slower processor.
Install a Celeron with crippled cache.
visit some porn sites and get infected enough to slow u to a crawl.
If you need it slow, why did you buy fast?

Trying to run a Win95 era app?

Lang

Run it in a Virtual Machine and assign 1 core to it. MS Virtual PC is
