I too am confused abotu the affinity setting.. I set it to 8, as I have a quad core, with XP Pro .

I run a routine, and its no faster than my older machine.. My CPU sits around 15%, so its hardly working..
hard drive is working hard, but doesnt seem that hard.

I expected way better speed with this new machine..

Affinity is a superserver parameter. Classic ignores it.
