LabVIEW preformance and Compatiability with Intel Dual Core Processors

[Bigguy]

I am looking at purchasing a new laptop for LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, and FPGA development.  I have noticed that many of the new high end computer are running the new intel T2500 dual core processorer.  I know that currently LabVIEW does not support 64-bit processors, but wondered if it is compatable and would show any preformance increase in a dual core processor as opossed to a standard Intel M Series Processor.

Yes, LabVIEW can take full advantage of multiple processors or dual-core chips.

Have a look at the article: LabVIEW and Hyperthreading

Thanks for the info.  I was guessing that there should be no problem nowing the inherient parallal nature of LabVIEW, but always better safe than sorry

There's also a presentation available from 2000, more specifically dealing with multiprocessor issues:
