I realized that I’d fixed an issue with my sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks script to correctly parse out the parallelism nodeId from the resource_description column (as newer versions include more info after the nodeId=X info) but I never blogged the update. Here it is for your use(and all other references have been updated to point to this post).
Enjoy!
(Note that ‘text’ on one line does not have delimiters because that messes up the code formatting plugin):

Very cool script, found my lack of memory issue. PC has 16 GB of RAM
An alter index , create index , even a DBCC CHECKDB would run for 2 minutes or 5 seconds then Disk I/O slowed right down to ZERO.
