Can Battlefiel 2 use Dual core technology ?

Question

I play BF2 every day , in a dual core AMD PC .. is there something I can do to run BF2 taking advantage of both proccessors?

Answer 1

Not unless you playing on rewriting the game. To make specific use of multi-core processors, an application has to be programmed to do so. That doesn't mean your dual core is going to waste though, even when playing games your PC runs many tasks in the background, which may use the second core, if the first one is busy running the game.

It's not as if your second core is literally doing nothing, it ALWAYS has something to do.

And to the answerer above, 64-bit vs 32-bit plays absolutely no part in multi-core systems, the number of cores is an independent system from the instruction architecture. Case in point: Supreme Commander, which makes use of both multi-GPU (SLI/Crossfire) and multi-CPU/multi-core PCs, but lo and behold, isn't a 64 application.

Answer 2

I've only seen direct access to dual core in Linux 64-bit. The vast majority of the games are 32-bit. Unless the programmers wrote code to optimize at runtime, I don't see how. This is just my opinion, mind you.
