Optimizing Performance of Dell Precision T7910 Tower Workstation

[Anonymous]

I was recently given a Dell Precision T7910 Tower Workstation here at my work.  I know when I work in Rhino I have to set the Rhino Preferences to coordinate with the number of threads (14) that this computer has for me to get the best performance out of the program.  Is there anything similar to this that I need to coordinate for the T7910 to optimize Revit's performance.  I've never worked with this many cores before.

Thanks in advance.

That option is probably lingered from when single-core systems still existed.  Revit and most programs should be able to optimize the number of Cores and memory and everything else to be used to the highest efficiency. 

Now, if you want the other way around, you can set Revit or any program to use only a certain cores and reserve the rest for something else.  For example, if I need to render in Revit while working at the same time, I can set the rendering session to use only the last 4 of my 8 cores so that the computer is workable with 4 first cores free from the task.  This settings is entirely by Windows task manager, not specifically to Revit or any other programs.
