You are not the first hoping for that - and you probably will not be the first being "dissapointed". Let'S face it: FLOT near Seoul on first day of campaign is a hellride for the CPU.

In F4AF with a single XP3200+ and 1 GB RAM + 9800 AIW I was complaining about drops to 20 FPS over the FLOT so I am not sure why I will be disappointed? The dual core CPU will fix that problem however since one CPU runs the ground war and one CPU the flight sim. I bet I won't have any slowdown at all.

If so, the better for you :up: I have red posts in the past, guys with killer systems that nevertheless were dissapointed over the FLOT concerning their frames. that they fell to the range of one-digit numbers despite there hardware investements was something that they took as a personal offending :lol:

I've never had any slowdowns like single digits with Falcon 4 Allied Force. I know T&L affects SP4.2 badly, so maybe that is the issue with SP4.2??? T&L doesn't really give you any noticeable better gfx either that I can see.
ANyway, this is all hearsay until I actually test. I'll start a brand new ugly fully loaded vehicle wise campaign (I'll move all the sliders to the right and play a balanced campaign) when I get this thing rolling, turn on the FPS counter and fly over the FLOT and take some screenshots. I'll post them by the weekend and then we can see if the dual core helps and works as advertised. Hopefully I don't get shot down while trying to take pictures! :)
Are there any other games out there that make use of dual CPU's other than Falcon 4 Allied Force? This is the only game I know of that will use dual CPU's that I am aware of, but if anyone has heard of anything else, let me know. I need to do some testing!
