[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1422298, member: 56379"] Let me give you some historical perspective. Apple began selling multi-processor computers in the mid-late 1990's. Apple, software developers, and knowledgeable reviewers from many periodicals...have been talking about more programs being written to take advantage of mutli-processor or multi-core computers for the past (let's call it 15 years). Here we are in 2012...and there still are relatively few applications that will use all 4, 8, or 12 cores in a Mac Pro (or other multi-core computers). And those applications that are written to take advantage of multiple cores...don't necessarily do a great job of it (see the link above). - Nick [/QUOTE]
