I thought ArmA 2 supports multiple processors?

Maybe ArmA 2 isn't just optimized.

May I ask where you disabled hyperthreading? In BIOS, windows, or arma 2?

I am curious now since my performance is pretty bad with a core i7 and I added hyperthreading startup parameters to arma 2 and it didn't do much. TY.

edit: Also, to the poster above, supporting multiple processors is not the same as supporting hyperthreading, a feature proprietary to solely Intel processors :P If hyperthreading isn't supported it could cause more harm than good being enabled I believe.

run, msconfig > Boot tab > Advanced options > Click "Number of processors" and select only the amount of physical cores you have, and hit ok, and apply, then hit the prompt to restart your comp. and you good to go.
