64-bit client / server ... besides mem & threading any other future benefits?

“Can someone explain in simple language what the CLIENTCORE does for me? Many of us are NOT engineers here or have much knowledge of exactly how multithreading works if that is even the term I should be using.

I copied over to test and checked my eqclient.ini and it has the below, and it's still there in the ini file:
CPUAffinity0=-1
CPUAffinity1=-1
CPUAffinity2=-1
CPUAffinity3=-1
CPUAffinity4=-1
CPUAffinity5=-1
CPUAffinity6=-1
CPUAffinity7=-1

but after patch
I now see this added:
ClientCore0=-1
ClientCore1=-1
ClientCore4=-1

Soooooooooooo.... what does that mean? I have a 4 core Intel CPU, with hyperthreading which in theory gives me 8 "cores", 0 to 7. I get that. I have a few accounts which I switch around with. Have not even checked what the other ini files look like but this is my main. Is the above correct? Should I just have ONE instance of ClinetCore or must I instruct something, someone to do things???”

They just changed the name of the config from CPUAffinity to ClientCore but everything else is the same.

I did a fresh EQ installation recently, and I only have "ClientCore0=-1" in my ini-file. Only a single line?

I guess that is because EQ has detected that I never box, otherwise it would have added more "ClientCore#" -lines?

Or should I add a line for each cpu-core I have?

The answer is - dont worry about it. It used to be something and now it isnt.
