I have a shiny new x2 3800 dual core cpu and so am wondering what patches are available for dual core systems.. ie what games support dual core?

I thank you.

Quake4 shows a big improvement with the latest patch which enables Dual Core and HT support.

City of villians supports dual core and runs a lot better with it.

Not the kinda thing that has a demo tho sadly.

Apparently it only effects one monitor - you have to click ignore when it warns you that the mode isn't supported, then alt-tab around like a hundred times.....and then it might damage the monitor

I belive that the patch before that, a beta one, adds DC & HT support without the supposid problems of the 1.1 patch.

I played Q4 1.1 in 16:10 mode on my widescreen monitor for a few minutes. :eek:

why does this bug knacker widescreen monitors?
