I think two of the games you listed actually take advantage of quad cores (SupCom and MS Flight Sim) and the rest only use two cores 😛

and...lol at true quad core. It's unfortunate that a lowly Q6600 would hand the Phenom's rear end back in a silver platter.

Whats your point? He replied to a question that specified BOTH DUAL and QUAD core.
And for the record, UnrealTournament3 uses quad core.
