the next generation of the Dual Core technology – Quad Core, will be useless for heavy games and gamers.

<< We spoke with many developers including some big names and we learned that they can’t make much sense out of quad or more core CPUs. They confirm that they can put two cores to good use but not much more. The main problem is that the performance is far from scalable. >>

by that, playing games on Windows Vista will be slower than playing it on XP
