Dual core, so what uses it and how do you control yours?

I have a core-duo 820, havent noticed any difference tbh. Are there any specific video apps that use dual-cores?
Street said:I played version 2.7 up until a couple weeks back when I upgraded from my X2 to C2D. Didn't reinstall it after putting my new hardware in. Might have to give it another go if they've released some more updates!
there have been 6 major updates since then

Then you're not pressing your computer hard enough. I can notice the difference between my 3700+ and 4400X2 straight away, once I do heavy CPU processes. I used my X2 to rip and encode my music collection, whilst it was doing that I could play games. Oblivion didn't even slow down.
About a month ago on my HTPC I re-encoded the Flac files to Mp3 so they can be played on a standard Mp3 player. Massive slow down, I couldn't play a movie whilst it was doing that. So I just did the batch conversion during the night and paused it when I needed to use the HTPC again.
Street said:Nice, night have to reinstall it then and give it a crack!
Can't wait for the proper release though!!
off topic, but when you look at it again, remember this... ALLL that eye candy, is done with shader model 2! it just goes to show you how utterly useless sm3 really was.

it was a personal opinion, not a request for a slanging match, its just that supreme commander really does show just how much life was left in SM2 if SM2 is processed with certain effects. the thing that makes SupCom good is a graphical option called fidelity.

i liked the fact i can burn an image file to dvd whilst installing a game from the hdd whilst browsing the internet with no slowdowns whatsoever. this may be the 2gb ram though.
i dont like the fact it wont boot and im back on an xp2100 and 512mb of ddr1 ram and now it seems slower than it did before. sniff.
