One addition: in theory it is very well possible that one single program
makes use of real multitasking. I don't know if fs2kx is doing that, but I
expect addons to make seperate threads which might be processed bij seperate
processors.
Furthermore the OS has to facilitate this. XP personal edition does not
support multi cpu's. the prof edition does afaik
