Just taking a quick guess, the multiplayer engine probably can't handle or isn't optimized for multi-core CPU's (doesn't have proper multi-threading support), and because of that it can't use your processors' full power (3.2GHz). If it can only handle single or dual-core architecture, you'd be using (2 threads/cores x0.8GHz=) 1.6GHz of processing power.
*Minimum* is 3.0Ghz solo or 2.33 GHz dual-core... just my two cents, but if I'm talking bullshit, let me know!
Confirmed?

problem on MoW is the non multi-core optimized Engine , it uses only one core and the <video card> isnt really fast at all , when using only one core.
