    Just wondering which apps on the market have been optimised for 2 cores? Google wasnt very helpful on this one. I know Quake 4 has been, but i dont know of any others.

    Thanks.

    I know Photoshop CS2, Sony Vegas 6, and Adobe Premiere 2 support HT and duo core processors.

    the newest divx codec is, and I think DVD Shrink will use both cores also if I am not misstaken. Not many programs out there right now.

    I believe ES IV: Oblivion is optimized for dual cores. I've heard it uses one core for the current area and the other preloads the surrounding ones. Not positive though.
