Thanks, Hiphoper! Nice find!
I never thought that the "Big Boys" wouldn't set up the dual cores to optimize the hardware, but then I am not too surprised.

SURPRISE !!!! What is it ? I forgot to accelerate your hardware...
I also didn't knew it. Always had a gut feeling that dual core cpu on winxp is worth no more than single core, But you know, Ignorance is a bliss....
Today when I sent it to some of my clients, They called me back to ask what computers they need to run the patch on....
Another smart a$$ friend asked me what to do with a quad core cpu ? I wanted to answer him that he needs to run the patch twice..LOL...Going to search a solution for it....

Apparently you don't need it if you're on XP SP3

It's a beta but seems to bring serious performance gains. I have it on my machines and I can feel the boost.

Thanks CB, I'll look into it and maybe test it on my clients (Who said Rat Labs ? :O)
