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.

Well anyone playing multiple large SP games could run them both at the same time and use the 'set affinity' so each game can use different CPUs. Another idea is maybe running one MP game and one SP game using 'set affinity'.
