Remnantmods

The title may be wrong for the question, but oh well.
I've heard some applications don't use both cores, and because I want my games or high-demand applications to run better and faster, I was wondering if there was an program that can give each core there own tasks.
Much like;

Core 1: System, Virus Protection, windows, (other system related tasks)
Core 2: Half-life2, Halo2 Vista, Halo CE, 3ds, or any program I am running that may need more power.

I thought I heard of something like this on the web, but I couldn't find it, and I'm not really sure what I should search that I haven't already.

Any help would be nice.

In Vista, you can just open taskmanager, select the process and set "Processor Affinity".
Not sure about XP because I have never had a dual-core that ran XP.

It appears similar in XP.

You have the option of affinity and priority.

You have to right click the process.

That's only temporary, i.e When you restart the program you have to do it again

Thanks, even if it's only temporary, though, I just ran a HL2 mod, and it ran great, even on high settings.

Thanks.
