Hi.
Would you say, it is possible to write a C# program taking use of the ProccessorAffinity API, to run any other C/C++ program on multiple cores, even if it is written for one core.

My answer is no, but this guys claims different:
Crossfire 3.2 - A Gaming Community

Thanks :)

No, if it isn't threaded, it won't use more than one core. But that doesn't appear what he is claiming. What it looks like is that his software searches for the least used core and assigns the process in question to that core, thus giving a slight performance boost.
