Hey guys,
Sorry if this seems a stupid question but is there any special requirement for the backgroundworker?
Does it need a multithreaded processor or something like that? Will it run on old processors?
Cheers and thanks

Of course you can spawn multiple threads on single-processor machines.
It`s an OS mechanism after all.

All right, that’s what I thought BUT… what if it’s a reaaaaaaally old processor with win xp sp2?
I’m talking specifically about a Intel Pentium® M at 1.74 Ghz… :shrug:

If it runs the net.-framework ( version 2.0 and up) and at least Windows-XP it should work.
At my company i`m running a multithreaded Net. application on a Pentium-4, 3ghz with 500 mb Ram and windows-XP. Stable and fast. 24h 5 days a week.
