I'm not very familiar with Vista, but can you move non-multi-core
supporting applications to different cores so that they run in parallel?
In particular, I've noticed that POV 3.6 only uses 50% of the CPU, so i
though I might run two instances, one per core.

In general, just running two copies of the application will do the job
[assuming it will let you]. You don't actually need to make each copy
run on a specific core. (You CAN, it's just usually not necessary.)
IIRC, POV-Ray might have a "keep single instance" option somewhere which
you'd need to turn off. (Other applications have something similar.)

Well, it happens automatically, yes. If you want to lock a process to a
particular core/CPU, you can do that too, either programaticly or thru the
GUI. Open the task manager, right-click on the task, and pick "processor
affinity..." and turn off the cores you don't want it to use.

Thanks! That will make a big difference.

You think that if you run two different programs at the same time, the
operating system will run both programs with only one core, and leave the
other idle? Why would it do that?

Why not use POV-Ray 3.7?
