That means the game you are playing doesn't support 4 cores. It may be a multi-threaded game for 2 cores. Supreme commander is one game that supports 4 cores.

supreme commander is *supposed* to support up to 4 cores but I'm yet to see it properly happen eg. 1core for ai each or sumthin they were saying.

I thought only Ultimate or Business could use 2 physical cpus?

According to this page:

While all editions of Windows Vista can support multiple core CPUs, only Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise can support dual processors.
