As bovi mentioned, I was talking about multiprocessing. RTW is not able to gain speed bonus from this. Surely you can run RTW on a dual core (as do I) but you will experience no speed bonus.
That I wanted to say...

sshit and i have to humble with my 1.2 GH whatever 450 whatever ram and 128 mb graphiccard - it's so - well I can play it thats above all the most important thing ;)
good point about multi threading
but the problem is...
my quad core is extreme edition = overclocked >>
4.6ghz per core =...4.6x4 @ max power..+ sum awesum air cooling..not spoiled!!
You really need a dual core for window mode due to well EB/rtw exe takes up dramatic amount of space, more so when memory leaks start
but also the mentioned other programs that'll be running
making it use a lot of CPU power
(modern dual/quad cores basically just split the work between themselves OR disable certain cores which are not in use reactivating when theyre needed... power efficient)
BTW
if u can run EB and do all that + surf on the web without a ubber comp
you get this![]()

Sure can.
AMD Dual Core 2.6Ghz (not OC'ed);
2GB RAM;
ATI Radeon X 1650 SE (512 Mb dedicated, plus up to 768Mb shared);
Vista 32 bit.
Once I had a combination of EB, The GIMP, Opera and Notepad++ running. That is, I think the worst I made it. But I've noticed that it really depends on the apps you're running. For instance Windows Explorer experiences random crashes without running EB also, but when running EB it's a bit like it's missing sprites or so when you try navigating to the RTW/EB directories. <_< That's to say: the first time it'll crash but the second time it'll work (flawlessly?).
Anyhow, I often post between waiting for the AI turns to complete, or for the program to get to the main menu.
My typical set up for running EB is Opera, Windows Explorer and EB.
- Tellos Athenaios
CUF tool - XIDX - PACK tool - SD tool - EVT tool - EB Install Guide - How to track down loading CTD's - EB 1.1 Maps thread

I also use EB in windowed mode all the time with my suprisingly similar system to Tellos'. I however have only 1 gb of Ram, so I have to kill down all background programs I can/dare. I haven't noticed any problems whatsoever with performance, stability or anything other.
I play freecell while the game loads :).
