Using more processes when your computer boots up? I was sniffing around msconfig under the boot tab and clicked advanced options. I have a quad core processor and if I were to set the number of processors my computer uses to boot to all 4, I noticed in my task manager that my computer uses around 1gb of memory while if I were to leave it at default settings, my computer uses around 1.20gb memory. While that may not seem a big jump, I simply would like my computer to use less memory when it's idle and all. So does using more processors to boot with do anything bad?



None.

I recall reading about that setting, that it only limits the number of processors used during boot. By default Windows uses all of them.



None.

It's a debug option. When there's no problems you should always use all cores.
