Built a new system to 5 box based on the new I7/Nehalem Intel processors with the improved memory architecture (which btw works wonderfully 5-boxing).

The i7 has 4 cores with 2 threads per core, in Vista 64 they label them CPU 0 to 7.

Keyclone lets you assign in setup to cores 4-7, but it doesn't seem to save. If I click ok and then go back, the CPU affinity resets back to NONE. If I set a CPU between 0 and 3 works fine.

Its easy enough to fix affinity for the wow instances via the task manager, so next time Keyclone gets an update maybe that can be fixed.

If you have a fix and you need someone with the i7 to test, I'd be happy to.

If it matters, I'm running Vista 64 Ultimate SP1.

I guess "processAffinityMask" variable in config.wtf can help you without using keyclone
