I was puzzled by one annoying thing of my computer and I don't know
whether I should fault Stata or my computer.
Basically, I am running computational intensive Monte Carlo simulations
on Stata under Windows XP on a brand new Dell Inspiration laptop.
Somehow my Task Manager shows that the computer is using 50% of its CPU
usage on this computer. It is weird because the same program always use
100% of the CPU on my old machine.
I suspect it is the problem of my computer rather than my Stata, though
I am not 100% sure. Anyone has any ideas to release the remaining 50%
CPU power of my computer? I really appreciate your help!
