No one really knows when game devs will start coding multithreaded games... Hopefully once dual core CPUs are released and they become mainstream. No devs will do it before there is a large want for it, since it would be a huge waste of money to code the entire for a few people. But if the dual cores have a decent impact on the market, then devs will probably start coding for it. There are rumors that the Unreal Engine 3 allows for fairly easy multi threaded coding. So maybe we'll start seeing them in the next few years.

PS: Sorry for calling you a fanboy, I just assume because of the other thread we had.
