Dualcore option slows down performance.. no answer!

i know this has been asked LOTS of times but i cannot still find a straight clear answer why this happens. i've searched the forum but answer is not clear.

basically, enabling dualcore actaully lowers my performance by about two times. when i disable dualcore option, I get 50 to 60 FPS but when i enable it, it is about 30fps. i really do not understand why this is and it seems like only a minor amount of ppl have this prob. most DO get performance incerase as normal when dualcore is enabled.

i'm using windows 7, 32-bit, 4 gig ram, with e5200 dualcore o/c'd at 4ghz.

this happened exactly the same when i had vista, with a e2160 at 1.8ghz.

PLEASE HELP!

what game? it also depends on what game you're playing, let me guess, nsmb.

yes it is new super mario bros. is it suppose to run faster in SC in that game? how come the game thread tells people to use dualcore if so?

its a known issue that for some people single core is faster in that game, i know not why.
