OK, I recently bought an Intel Corei7 Extreme Ed so I am lost into what number should I put in the UseProcessors option under the Performance Settings in the config files. The cpu came with 6 cores, what value should I put here? +rep for any help

Ok I found the info I needed but also like to share:
See my chart below.
Logical Cores: |C1|C(v)1| |C2|C(v)2| |C3|C(v)3| |C4|C(v)4|
Core Number: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
Mask Values: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128
In general just avoid using the ones marked with "(v)" since those are logical and not physical cores and just look at the mask values and add the numbers corresponding to the cores, you will see a lot of frame rate improvement in WoW and also less lag in your server by avoiding spikes in your core's usage.
So a quick example of this will be, change the value in config.wtf to SET processAffinityMask "80" (for use wow in core 3 and 4)
and UseProcessors = 5 in trinitycore.conf (for using the server in core 1 and 2) assuming of course you had at least a Quad Processor.
