You don't. You run the process, and if counterstrike is eating up one
CPU,
Linux will put bf1942 on the other.

Generally speaking, CPU affinity shouldn't be something you have to
think
too much about. The kernel tries to keep all pipes full.

(And yes, there are kernel patches that improve the scheduler in various
ways, but we're talking small gains, which is nice to have, but not when
you have to patch your kernel.  :)  )
