Can anyone tell me why? My screen flashes on shutdown, reboot, and boot. I run a HP dv6171cl 2g ram(crap-top). Also how do I change drive letters without jumping through hoops in disk manager?

I talked to the guy who installed XP Pro on that machine (and he is also a good friend of mine) and he didn't know about NumProc, but on my machine it was set to 1 and considerably slowed down my boot time. I also used to boot a graphic cpu monitor that would load during boot and it would show a single core running until most of the startup programs were running. It was also apparently that way on another of his several machines. So for me changing the NumProc worked, as would removing it all together. Maybe this got started because some other people were like me and someone/something installed added it to the Boot.ini file.

After asking around the rest of my friends he seems to be a very controversial figure. What does the forum think? do you love the all action superhero? Or do you hate the droning voice of the man who does nothing but action shooters?

I did indeed read the article -- I linked to it. The option's purpose has not changed since it was first implemented in Windows NT Workstation 3.51, therefore no additional research is required. As I quoted in my post, using this option can "help you troubleshoot performance problems and defective CPUs." @ChrisH: Thanks for the comments. I did indeed read the article — I linked to it.

Just to let you know Chris Pirillo at that time had Windows Vista installed, which is a totally different OS than XP. Also since that post which was quiet awhile ago he has moved over to Mac OSX and has a Mac Pro, Mac Mini, Imac 24inch, MacbookPro 15inch and 17inch. So maybe you should actually do some research on Windows Vista and see if selecting more than one core actually does speed up the boot time. Why would they put that in the boot option if it didnt do anything??? Also, Whomever did this blog post was quoting Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
