[quote quoting="post"]Ironclad, you have a great game going here, you deserve to at least inform your community if you are going to come out with a sequel to the game. Wouldn't it make more sense to announce now, and ask what people would like in the new sequel?[/quote] Well, why announce a sequel when the original game itself is not yet dead...

That means it can do more.[/quote] Ok, i will follow your logic... you speak of a single i7 with 6 cores... in my case, i speak of 2 Xeon with quad cores, good for a total of 8 cores... to my knowledge, 8 is more that 6 !!!

The addition of SSE2's integer support makes SSE even more flexible. While MMX is redundant, operations can be operated in parallel with SSE operations offering further performance increases in some situations. SSE3 add a handfu

By example, on a i7, link between processor and SouthBridge is called DMI ( direct media interface ) with a max speed of 10 Gb/sec...

The term x86 refers to a family of instruction set architecture based on the Intel 8086 CPU.

Performance will comes from having smarter computer and not from having faster computer !!! 64 bits don't mean faster... if a 32 bits computer is like a car ( 2 row of 2 seat ), 64 bits computer are like bus ( more row and more seat by row )... if both have the same engine, the bus will be slower that the car !!! What is really needed is a revolution at the engine level... a new way... somehing like the experimental optronic computer, quantum computer, DNA computer, or chemica

In fact, it is not off-topic... the SOAP mod is great for reduce the memory print from sins but there is several other way that sins dev can use for reduce the memory use that SOAP dev cannot use... by example, implement a "loadondemand" for everything can really be a complement to the SOAP mod... i will be really unhappy that Ironclad/Stardock use only a work similar to these made by the SOAP team... they can make better because they can "mod" the game engine...
