Hey Darkone,When I first purchase X3 Gold Edition, I was hoping to play and explore the universe. HOWEVER the game just slugged around like a snail!! What kind of engine are they using to run this game? That is right... it runs on "Single Core" only! In other terms, it doesn't even utilize all of the processing unit from my Intel Core i7! This is lame... really LAME! I just laughed so much that my hardware looks powerful and this game doesn't even want to take advantage of my hardware and resources!!This is my system spec. But, the game just ran like... "go snail, GO!" LOLP.S. Lets hope (cross my hearth to die) that the NEXT series will support multi-Core + 64-Bit OS! God prays...Processor (CPU)Intel Core i7 Processor i7-860 (2.86GHz) 8MB Cache SKT -11568 processorsMemory (RAM)12GB DDR3 -10600 -SDRAMMotherboardASUS P7P55D PRO: DDR3, S-ATA II, 3 x PCI-Ex, 2 x PCIOperating SystemGenuine Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit)Memory - 1st Hard Disk (OS System + Application)WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR 500GB SATA2 32MB (7200rpm)Memory - 2st Hard Disk (OS System + Application)WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR 500GB SATA2 16MB (7200rpm)Memory - 3nd Hard Disk (Application, Games + Backup)Hitachi Deskstar 500GB SATA2 16MB (7,200rpm)1st DVD/BLU-RAY DriveASUS DVDE818AT DVD-Multi 16X2nd DVD/BLU-RAY DriveASUS DVD-RW 22X + COMBOGraphics CardATI RADEON HD 5870 1GB GDDR52nd Graphics CardATI RADEON HD 5870 1GB GDDR5Crossfire Enabled: YesSound CardASUS XONAR DS PCI 7.1 (GX25 Audio Engine)1st Network FacilitiesASUS WL-138GE 128MBPS WIRELESS PCI2nd Network FacilitiesEdimax USB 7711UTnCaseAntec Twelve Hundred Series + Special FiltersPower Supply & Case CoolingAntec 1000W + 120mm FanProcessor CoolingLGA-1156 Costume Heatsink (required for running 8 processor)- Antec Kuhler Box (Heatsink)

Uh its The X3 The reunion engine they use. 2006? In that time Single treaded was common and Dual core was nextgen.A Proscessor with 8 Prosesors?i860 I think a quadcore, that 4 cores CPU using Hypertreading.Wich means it can prosces 8 treads with it.s 4 cores.Wich means it uses 6 out of order pipeline where 3 are for excotic computation to do 2 treads.This means it can do like a oct core but can also has a performance hit. wenn threads rival on core resources plus the overhead. -30 to 80% performance win depending on application.And I think a game wich use a extensive and in depth economics and lot of diverent kind of massive amount AI units.I think SMP enable game but also GPGPU could be put to good use.Derek Smart is a good example of not going into discustion with gamers but use a person suitable for a profesional PR job to do it for you.I like the egosoft forum method.Level one the common people. normal moderatedLevel 3 you get acces on the Dev part. very strick moderatedLevel 5 I think is something where a NDA hangs on not sure. Well NDA.Wish list tread make no sense to me. 5 to 30 bright idea's are spread and get overgrowen by 40 pages of 2000 reply's.Now you get one specific wish. on it's own where more serious people react on.4 to 30 bright idea with there own thread and some more with few replay on them.Also if you got a similair idea you add to the excisting.That much more managable for dev's to plauw trough.
