I have experienced a lot of problems with lag, especially late in the game on larger maps. Reading in the forums it seems like this is a common issue no matter how good the system is.
I have also read a lot of technology articles about how current softwear is not designed to take advantage of the latest advances in chip architecture. How difficult would it be to add support for dual core technology or dual processor configurations in an upcoming patch or the expansion? AI functions could be offloaded onto the additional processor freeing up system resources and increasing the playability and enjoyment of the game. The dual processor support could be an option in the configuration like higher resolutions or other advanced options that are hardwear dependent.
What do you think Firaxis???
