I thought the same, as you didn't give any explanation at all and just posted a link

..does that clear it up for you...

Yes, very much - and hopefully for those you were referring to as well

One advice, though: XP doesn't support multi-threading, if that's the point. So performance gain with multiple CPU is very limited with 2 cores and more than 2 cores won't have a noteable impact at all. That has nothing to do with the programs you run. It's the OS.

i am running win7 but i thought i might try to find some useful info for those still running XP . i tried playing BC2 on a single core 2gb ram XP system....I could have painted the frames in oil faster than the system was rendering them .

For people running dual core XP systems might be better off upgrading to win7 home before upgrading there whole system.
