No, windows just sees it all equaling 100%. Each core should run 50% in the Processes tab.

Hm, I thought dual core means 1 application of F@H uses only 1 core of the 2 and it stays and works in that 1 core, then the other application does it's thing on the second core. Which would perform better, the way I do it or windows. The way I do it is I set the F@H to what core I want it to run, then it runs on that 1 core and no other core, same with another F@H application too.

Look, windows Task manager really doesn't know you have a dual core CPU when you're in the processes tab.

Windows see your processes equaling 100% of your total CPU abilities.

And your assumption of how 1 application uses one core is correct. It may switch between the two cores depending on what other programs are using the CPU though. Just disregard what the Performance tab shows.

If both instances of F@H are running ~50% each then you're using 100% of your CPUs abilities.

Get it?

Agreed, I've had 2 instances on before and BF2 as well, and noticed no difference.
