Depends what you mean by "supports". I highly doubt that there is any non-multi-billion-dollar software out there that is actually coded to utilize all available cores to the max efficiency - most seasoned programmers got no clue how to do it, since they never learned it 20 years ago. Having said that, on my quad-core I see all CPU at about the same level, but this workload distribution is done by the OS and not the software. |

To simply answer the question by the OP, Yes it does, it uses all 4 of my cores when I run the game. Tested and confirmed with Riva Tuner+mods. And runs great other than I need to upgrade my 8800GT Video Card :P |

I'd say it depends entirely on the size of your monitor. You're buying pretty much the top of the line technology there is currently. I'm running at 1650x1080 on a 22" HPw2207 and a QX9550 @ 3ghz with a 8800GTX card and it runs just fine. But yeah, it should last you a few years, although I would wait till Windows 7, and thus DX11 hardware arrives. I mean why buy a top of the line card now that may-may not support DX11 if you can wait 2~3 months to see what Nvidia has in store. (ATI announced a DX11 card already)
