sx2 and duel core compatability

[bluesdudeo]

Hi there,
I've just upgraded my PC to a Intel core2 duo 2ghZ
processor ..I 'm still using SX2 and was wondering....
(should have checked first)if they are compatible ... everything is working fine but I read somewhere ...i think... that SX2 would only recognize and use 1 of the processors ...do you know if this is true and how can I check. I just recently moved across platform from Apple/Digital Performer 3.( Been using that well for 6 years) My Mac died and I still had the PCI motu 2408 ... was too much to upgrade with Mac)
the PCI card works fine in the new PC.
Can't afford any serious cash for upgrades at the moment ... so would I be better off sticking with SX2 or get the new STEINBERG CUBASE SE3 ?

I'll thank you all in advance for your time.
Best wishes to you all David Ian Vaughan

Hmmm. This is a great question and I do not have a clue. If it was me, I'd do a few mixes and see if I was happy with the performance. If you are low on cash, it may be best to not even know if you are using both cores. I know this may defeat the purpose of upgrading, though.

This link is to a page from the SX2 manual I think. It says with multicore CPUs, set the audio priority to high or normal rather than very high to avoid crashing.

Thanks for the good news my friend. They are obviously compatable ( good to know finally).Everyhting is working like a treat.... so I would hate to have to change again.
