It's no problem either if you: - Don't use Cool'n Quiet CPU speed throttling (disabled power management) - Always load both CPU's fully It's only a problem if you have a *single-cpu* process on *one* CPU taking all resources. Apparently Windows fails to throttle up the CPUs in that case. I recommend just disabling power management, it fixes some other problems with old games as well.
