The codes are revere binary counts in hex. Rewatch the video linked earlier that explains this.

You can use "start /?" to pull up turgid help on the affinity flag.

If hyperthreading is enabled the system believes there are a number of virtual cores, they are all equal, there is no say "physical core" and a "hyperthreaded core" and those cores count in the affinity calculation, in pairs sharing the same physical core. So for example removing cores 0 and 1 on a hyperthreaded systems is in reality just removing Pro Tools from the first physical core... the core handling the hardware interrupts.
