George. Member Jun 15, 2010 #1 Hey, So I was wondering... I'm running a dual core @1.6 ghz each. Can I merge them on windows? Make it 3.1 ghz? I heard you can do this on linux but not on windows. Someone please carify.

George. Member Jun 15, 2010 #3 So then if I'm running a program it doesn't skip to only one CPU it distributes it's weight evenly. Like when I play something like say TF2... one processor is tripping out while the other is un-used. Maybe I'm just really out of it and programs already do that.

George. Member Jun 15, 2010 #4 Ok... just making sure... so it runs programs basically as a 3.1 ghz processor right?

George. Member Jun 15, 2010 #7 OH I GETZ IT NAWH. It runs as two separate processors @1.6 ghz each. Which makes it available for multi-threading. So one of them can take half the processing load and the other can take the other half... right?

Heart Active member Jun 15, 2010 #9 Yup, you're right, they can split the processor load. Also, there's an option in TF2 under advanced video settings called "multicore rendering," turn it on and you'll get much better performance, because both cores will be utillized.

George. Member Jun 16, 2010 #10 THANK YOU. Also... is this option in most games? Or does it just come auto?
