RS Using Dual Core

[boleyd]

In the past I always saw RS using one core and was max'd out on it. The other showed very low activity. Now, I see both cores in use. See pictures aka screenie weenies.

I just upgraded from a AMD 64 3500 single core to a AMD 64 X2 4400 and got a huge boost in fps. It seems to be using both cores very well.

Hi Dick,

Just checked this on my Quad-core system and confirm that has changed as well, I still have the original RS on here and it only used Core 3 (Cores are numbered 0 thru 3). Whereas using the Update Mk#2 it now uses Cores 2 and 3.

From memory, the O/S is supposed to use Core 0, so there is still room for something to run under Core 1 as well.
