    Hi there, Will there be any performance gain (lower build times) if I get a dual Xeon PC? I know that VC++ 6.0 didn't use the second CPU but is this still the case with .Net? Thanks. .Henrik --- Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

      No, it still uses only one processor.

          Only if you setup your build to spawn multiple cl.exe, which is a very hard thing to do. I have very long build times, and joined the effort from a friend of mine to create an NAnt mod so it runs builds with the maximum degree of parallelism available. It's not that hard, but we are low on time, lately. You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

                  actually you will gain speed, because the kernal binds to the primary processor, so kernal ops will happen without killing your compile. you might want to set the affinity of the compiler to the second proc...

                    Sort of like C#, which has a ton of runtime just to get started.

                      It won't use both processors, but having a second processor will allow you to run other programs without taking CPU time from the compiling. Matt Newman
