DOS ain't dead

Can a DOS-based MSR tool write to a specific core? (Developers)

I guess it needs APIC initialization and I don't know about any DOS app that handle it to utilize multicore. I remember there was a discussion and maybe Japheth tried some experiments with it. DJGPP and other DOS C compilers generate singlethread code without any control of APIC. In my case I use affinity function that works for windows and linux and compile to dummy function on DOS.

But I hoped if I will set multiplier/VID on one core it will set globally because CPU has only one PLL (I belive) and mobo has only one VRM. Please give me some time for experiments...
