GRAW? You sure that's not GRAW 2? Where did you read/find that?

EDIT: And On Star Wars: Galaxies, I could only find multi-threaded support for Macs.

Excel 2007 (not sure about the rest of Office 2007, though)

Very interesting... and unexpected!

Maybe it's not. Here's the link. Also you might want to try this.

I don't think GRAW is multi-threaded after looking at some more threads.

What do you mean by multi-threaded? Are these multi-core capable or just time sliced multi-threaded?

I'm sure he means truly running multiple threads. An application itself can't be written in time-sliced mode, as this is just the way an OS can break up multiple tasks. From the looks of the list, all of these apps actually run in multiple threads. Though same may be leveraging simple first-order steps like OpenMP, but it's a start.

Yup. Thanks rock.

Nice idea for a list I just picked up a dual core Opteron a month ago and it needs some lovin'

[ImaNihilist]

Isn't the entire Adobe CS3 multi-threaded? Sure seems that way.

Not sure or positive. Let me know if you find evidence that says so!!

Well, if you know of more, just post here and I will keep updating the list!!

As I'm crunching home movies via Windows Movie Maker 2.1, I noticed that both of my cores are being used!! So added that to the list!
