WiC, Supreme Commander, etc.

How about buying games you like, instead of ones that use more resources? Just a thought...

Rise of Flight takes advantage of multi-core processors, in fact in a significant way.

Microsoft Flight Sim X will eat it up.
It will use as many cores as you can throw at it and still want more.

FSX yes. GTA and Crysis although using them, doesn't manage them too well. Especially Crysis. GTA is better but still.....

Forgot to mention Lost Planet; thats the one game that really is coded for multiple cores; even an i7 gets fully utilized...

Believe it or not - World of Warcraft does.
