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.
Cool, was similar to what I heard as well about Unreal 3 engine. Yeah, I see what you mean now about it being a waste of time and code to code such a in depth change. So basically, best thing for someone getting a Dual Core, or Multi-Processor PC is one that either does ALOT of Multitasking, and Rendering. As far as gaming is concerned, there is allready suffice hardware out there to support us for a while right? That is, untill the new games come out with Multithreaded Use. But even still, Intel has its Hyperthreading, and AMD has HyperTransport, so we are set for a good while right? Thanks again man.

P.S. And hey no problem, I can see how I come across as such, I am open to all forms. Just not as knowledgeable about AMD and ATI as I am about Intel and Nvidia.
