    Recommendations for ext laptop hd on a dell laptop

    I'm looking for an external laptop HD / enclosure to use with Dell C600 laptops. I've heard that some drives suck too much power from the usb and don't work properly? I'm not sure if this is true or not. Is 7200rpm too fast, should I stick with 5400rpm or even 4200rpm? Another department...

    Running applications on a specific core

    Tried to search for this but couldn't find the answer. How do you configure an application to run on a particular core? I'm guessing it's an option/flag in a shortcut? This is for an x2 processor. Is there any way to get windows to run only on 1 core? And say run a game on the other?

    Default CPU priority in XP?

    I was wondering if there's a way to change the default application priority in winxp? Like certain applications will use 100% of your cpu and make multitasking impossible. Unless I'm running a game I don't want any application to have maxiumum priority. Is this possible?
