Does IL-2 take advantage of Dual Cores?

But I do have a new graphical glitch that I didn't have before, unless i didn't notice it. When at a certain angle, sometimes the water sort of turns a wierd color and gets pixelated.

I'd say your improved performance with your new rig is due to its its RAM and Graphics card and better CPU, but not a result of IL2 using the dual core capability. I run IL2 with the default (single-core) "process affinity" selection.

My rig:
ASUS P5N32-E SLI, 680i
Dual core E6700 Cpu (Mobo upgradeable to Quad-Core)
2GB OCZ PC2 8800 (1100Mhz) RAM (Mobo upgradeable to 4Gb)
BFG 8800GTX Graphics card
Samsung 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor 1920X1200 native
Windows VISTA 32bit
