I've got a dual core cpu, 50% of which sits idle whilst WOV/WOE rattles along. I've read a number of posts about this, and TK stated that the code was well positioned to support multiple cores, it was just that not many people had them at the time...

 

What about now? Do most people have multi core systems these days?

Dual cores were out of my price range in the dark ages (2005 ) - next system will be multi core though

 

Same here, but last year I upgraded my socket 939 system with the cheapest dual core I could find and overclocked it.

Core2Duo E8500 3.16 ghz (not presently overclocked)

2 machines, 2 procs>

one with single core - AMD Athlon 2100+ 1.73GHz (not overclocked)

second with dual core - AMD Athlon 4000+ 2.1Ghz (overclocked to stabile 2.41 Ghz)

Single core Athlon 64 @ 3.2 Ghz. I'd like to chuck my mobo and go with an Athlon X2, but there's lots of things to spend my $ on; like a new HOTAS for example. :)

After 5 years struggle with PIV 2,4 GHz month ago I switched to E8200 rated 2,67 GHz, to be overclocked. And GF8800 GT 512 MB, contrary to GF6600 GT 256. And 4 GB ram opposed to previously now-tiny 1 GB. Good old rig short-circuited on motherboard, forced me to make good investment. And for a month or so I was in graphics&performance gallore. Crysis, Gothic 3, Two Worlds. I felt like a kid. It was quite hard to return here. Not that SF series have poor graphics... But trees won't break when shot... Ok, enough of this :smile:
