So it's not even about GPU, it's CPU smile

This is exactly what I was trying to imply with my post, since games like this usually are very CPU intensive and there are barely any games out there which benifit from a Quadcore, even Dualcore support is still pretty rare (though it's appearing alot more frequently these days).
