You're not disabling anything, n00b. You're simply telling the game to only run on a single core. Dual Core 101 for you.

Nice try.. but you are disabling it for the game, which means you arent going to get as much out of it as you would a faster single core. Which makes it a poor decision to spend MORE and disable cores to get the same you would have out of your A64 or single core Conroe, when that comes out.
And I wouldnt be surprised if it didnt hurt multitasking performance.
Not to mention, thats not a great Out Of The Box experience.. disabling cores?!?

WoW and FEAR are pretty major games.
Its a disservice to the enthusiast community to not get the word out about this.
Not something I'd consider "spreading FUD".
This guy, and everyone else, deserves to know and I'm letting them know.

And I play both, on numerous dual core machines, with NO TROUBLE. As do MANY, MANY others. This has been hashed and rehashed a thousand times. You're spreading FUD.

No trouble!? justice.brent@hardocp.com would love to see your results where you claim hes wrong.

Sounds to me like you are trying to hide the truth, and decieve people on this for some reason.

Yeah, I guess I better disable the search feature so no unsuspecting purchaser will query and read the numerous threads vis-a-vi dual core and gaming.

Well, truth is the truth and theres no denying that. Thats all Im sharing here is a little bit of truth from HardOCPs professional documents.
