Btw does any body know exactly if there is ever going to be support for dual core procs? This game runs really smooth on my current set up (8800 gtx, 2gig ddr, dual 4200 amd's), but would run even smoother w/ both procs running  . |
My ATI is PCIe, not AGP like the poster above stated, but I don't have issues although I don't use the letterbox feature. I'm failry sure I toyed around with it and had no immediate problem, but I can't honestly say I used it for more than 5 minutes.
EQ2 started to use a single core to prevent exploits made by those with an AMD processor that did NOT install the AMD patch for X2 CPUs. Basically they were speed hacking and all that jazz.
It's sad because I have a 3800+ which on a single core is not that beefy and having the load spread on both cores would help tremendously.
When you activate shadows the load on the CPU increases by quite a lot, giving this and other small tasks like the rendering of the target rings to the 2nd core would be a start. One can only hope.
