    Question CPU utilization

    Hi all,
    I have a problem in trying to find out why only one CPU in a 2 CPU H-T utilized. Using task manager, I can see 4 processors windows but only 1 actually utilized. I select +boost sql server and select all CPU for use. Queries and all other command ie dbcheck.. appear to use only single cpu.
    Any help would be nice.
    thanks
    Andrew

    It's possible on lightly used server. What's usage on that busy cpu? Better to uncheck boost sql server.

    a. One of the reason might be that it is not doing parallel execution. check the following

    sp_configure

    for 'max degree of parallelism'

    b. If there is no need of multiple processing power for certain task, it uses only one CPU.

    c. Collect the data for a period of time. Instant peek will not give enough information about the behaviour.
