| The large majority of software is just now becoming multi-threaded from when the Pentium's first came out with Hyper-Threading. Now that we have two physical cores, and even 4, you can figure on another couple of years before the software catches up. Not only that, but Quad core rigs would really benefit from reverse Hyper-threading, which is something AMD and Intel seem to be working on from rumors. Reverse Hyper-Threading will make four cores look like one to single threaded programs. Or four cores look like two to a program optimized for dual core. Interesting times are on the horizon, that's for sure.
