kann ich mir kaum vorstellen, dass das ( auf wirklich leistungsgewinnbringender basis ) möglich ist. denke zumindest nicht, dass die q3 engine richtung multithreading entwickelt wurde.

€: es gibt allerdings so witzige software mit der man bestimmen kann welcher core sich um welche threads kümmert. soll heißen, man kann alle threads die windows so belegt auf einem laufen lassen und ed am anderen. allerdings hab ich mir solch software auch noch nicht genauer angesehen, der unterschied sollte zwar messbar aber nicht spührbar sein.

et only uses one core

yes, but i read it somewhere that it has inbuild code for multithread.

and that it is buggy or so.

@ limbonic.. any game developer can add their own code to the q3 engine .. so, sure it is possible that a game based upon the q3 engine has multithread support :) ..

the code that is designed to work for multiple processors isnt reliable!

sure you can code ANYTHING for q3 engine but its not likely to happen

next gen of steam games by valve are supposed to support dual/quad core and one other game (supreme commander? not sure) but apart from that, not that much point in multiple core rigs for gaming alone as of yet

Better just to put everything like irc, vent etc on one core and ET on the other to avoid fps lags etc.

I recently just brought a Dual core, how can I split the two up so I have vent, IRC on one and ET running on the other!

Open task manager, Right Click on say irc, Click "Set Affinity" and select which core you want it on

r_smp doesn't do anything on ET, no matter how you set it, it'll stay 0. If you use Win2K/WinXP, you could try going into task manager after you open ET, right click on the process and set affinity to both cores. You'll notice a very very minimal performance boost, not worth the effort of opening task manager >.<
