    Half Life 2 Engine to go massively pro-multicore

    http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2006/...e_Engin/1.html

    Very interesting article showing what appears to be a major speedboost for multi core processors with the Source engine..

    This was always their idea anyway. Remember the honcho having a discussion about the Xbox 360 and saying that he would make sure HL2 would be on their and it would make full use of the hardware. He also said that his team would be undergoing intensive multi-threaded training so they were at the fore front.

    Can only be good news for us gamers

    Valve + Steam rock.

    Disagreed. Especially to when you compare them to such shambolic companies like EA, lol.

    Steam works fine for me - never had an issue with it. Never seen anything better either - triton died a horrible death after being marketed as 'so-much-better' than steam..
