I7 users should set core affinity to 255 as they have 8 cores (4 physical 4 virtual) though that link recommends 85 probably to devote some resources to background processes

Actually 85 is the physical cores. 255 is 85 plus the hyperthreaded cores. There is evidence (somewhere) that 255 runs a little slower than 85 for wow clients.
