As far as I know, dolphin is only optimized for dual-core cpu , so that we can only overclock the cpu to increase the performance of dolphin but not use the multi-core cpu currently...

Just wanna ask a question, Is it difficult to optimize the dolphin for multi-core Cpu ?
My desktop equipment:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 overclocking to 3.5Ghz
Memory: 4Gbytes DDR2 running in 800MHZ
Graphics:nVIDIA GTX260+ with 216 SP
Systen : Windows 7 x64

Don't you think that it'd be implemented by now if it's that easy? Look up for SMT and other parallel programming term in google and wikipedia if you want to know more.

i have a dumb question....how comes when using dolphin, task manager shows all 4 cores doing a lot of work and only shows 2 cores working when i check "lock threads to cores"? i guess i'm misunderstanding what dual core support means?

Dolphin presents two software threads to the cpu. These threads are constantly jumping around from core to core. If you lock the threads to specific cores however the threads will only operate on those cores.
