Hi, got some problems here
- could not install under VISTA 64bit
- on my quad TheKing350_x64.exe uses 3 threads, one is used by game.exe;
-when its opponents turn in eng-eng match inside CM GUI - opponent uses correct 2 CPUs - the other 2 are use by CM engine (but does not ponder cause set is ponder off)
- so I am not sure what´s going on

[mclane]

but isn't it possible to install engines under CM GUI and make a tournament or match there e.g. on a dual core without pb ?

lets say CM_64_MP versus zappa_mexico_64_MP ?

Hi Thorsten,
CM has a function to import a winboard engine - here I first tried Spike Turin which is also a winboard engine. This worked ok - and you can setup the engines with ponder off.
Maybe the usage of the other CPUs is similar to SMP crafty? I´ll test today if CM only uses free CPU-time without calculating.

...I managed to run it under VISTA now
