No matter what I do, it only uses two:

The game architecture only allows the use of two.
-
you need to open a new AH account per every 2 cores you got...
be your own bombing raid. :D :devil
-
how many cores do you have?

how many cores do you have?
I'm going out on a limb and by the 6GB of RAM indicated................a Quad Core.

i'm curious as to why theres 48 graphs in the CPU usage history, i have a quad core and only show 1 graph per core, or under view i can change it to just 1 graph for all 4 Cpu's, click the view, scroll down till you see CPU History click that and you'll have graph options, mine was like i said either 1 graph per core or 1 graph for all 4 cores ..... edit... i am using XP pro 64

I looked into this too...and ditto.
-
easy, pay them to hire a bunch of very expensive codemonkeys to recode it to use all your cores. just for you :aok
PS why are you guys assuming that PCs can only use a single quad core processor? :headscratch:
-
The short answer is Aces High uses all the cores it can use. To use any more would not have any benefit at all.
-
That looks like a few too many cores. My quad i7 only shows 8 cores in Windows7 64 bit with Hyper-threading enabled. AH runs well on two of the cores. The only thing that has used all eight logical cores is DVD video editing software. Makes a 2 hour job run in about 45 minutes.

4 socket G34 board
12 core Opteron 6000 series processors
= 48 cores
edit: btw 16 core Opterons will be out later this year iirc, so 64 core systems will be possible :D

:huh :headscratch: Wait, so I need a Quad core cpu to run more than 4GB of RAM? I guess I better not put more in since I only have 2 cores.
-
No you need an OS that is capable of addressing 4Gb or more ram. I think 64 bit OS is the only ones doing that now.
-
I was gunna say... this is a "look how many cores I have" thread rather than a "how do I get AH to run better" thread.
-
yup.

Err no.
Windows 2003 (32 bit) can address more than 4Gb.
4Gb is nothing to do with 32/64 bit.
It's everything to do with an artificial limit imposed by Microsoft after which you require a 64 bit OR server Operating System.
-
It is a very real limitation. The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits is 0 through 4,294,967,295. However a 32 bit system can typically not use the whole address space for RAM as it also needs to use it for video memory, BIOS and other functions. A 32 bit system typically can address about 3 gigs of RAM.
-
Kev is referencing the poor/substandard use of PAE (Physical Address Extension) in all Microsoft operating systems. PAE allows a 32 bit OS to address up to 64GB of physical RAM.
-
... and if it can its using a 36bit processor like pentiums. not true 36bit, but a 32bit processor with some onchip jiggerypokery I dont understand to create a ?virtual/emulated 36bit processor. which is why each individual program can only access 4GB at the same time. my head hurts :uhoh
thankfully we're on 64bit processors and OSes now so we dont have to worry about it anymore :aok

Cores are the new MHz in terms of meaningless measures of system performance.
