| Well, nVIDIA claims a lot. There is a nice gain going from the 7x.xx forceware drivers to the 8x.xx but I'm not really sure the gain comes from dual core support or just driver optimizations. The downside to this is that they introduced a truckload of bugs in all sorts of games. And I did read some reviews that the doom 3/quake 4 engine is taking some advantage of dual cores.

| btw i think the fact that all the new consoles are MultiCore should help spur the development of PC dual core games.

| Has Half Life 2 been added to the list? I know it's Fully done in 64bit, it's not just a patch.
