Default Re: Dominions 3 on Dual Quad core machines

No chance. Dom3 is written in C, which is almost intrinsically sequential and thus single-core for the next few years. Take advantage of your dual core machine to play music in the background instead.

Making proper use of many-core machines is a problem the software industry is very much struggling with.

There's nothing about C that precludes doing things in separate threads. It's just an app not specifically designed for it generally takes a lot of work to convert.

There's also my opinion of C:

Programs, like ships, sink in the C.
