General Mach Discussion / Re: Running other things at the same time as Mach3
« on: August 04, 2010, 06:11:31 PM »
Hood,
I have run Avira Anti-virus, Aspire, Skype, Chome, and Mach at the same time with no issues. Although if I have something really important to cut I will only run mach.
There are a few things I would do first though.
1. Turn off all power saving features in the bios. (suspend, throttling, ect.)
2. If using a processor with hyper-threading turn that off as well. (it doesn't really help unless you are encoding anyway)
3. Assign CPU affinity so that you have one CPU dedicated to mach and all others to everything else.
