So you say that all multicore-CPUs use hyperthreading?

Now THAT was new to me.

I may be stating the obvious here but everyone knows that IL-2 uses hyperthreading too? It does. Although the improvements are limited to my understanding. It was talked about mostly during the Forgotten Battles release and then forgotten. I was assuming that IL-2 Cliffs of Dover would make use of it in some way as well.

If I were buying today... the Core i5 2500 is a great buy but the Core i7 2600 is just worth the extra money. Both are incredible bangs for the buck in higher end systems.

Your sarcasm aside, my comment was regarding the post made on fact that single-core processors are probably not available (and if they still are, who would want to buy one? especially for gaming?!.)

That being said, if you buy a new system, it's highly likely that it will be multi-core and IF it is INTEL (this added just for you), the question of "does COD support multi-threading" can be seen as "pointless" as it WILL or WILL NOT use it and there isn't a thing you could do about it.

Unless, of course, you use this argument to say to yourself "then I'll save money and buy a single-core based system" in which case, it's a logical fail.

So relax mighty Feuerfalke, no one's looking to take your cake.
