I have seen this same thing discussed over and over in the Dwarf Fortress forums. What it kind of amounts to is if you buy a new car that runs on Gasoline, then you decide later that you want a Diesel car, it would be prohibitively difficult to "Just Change It Over". I have not looked at the current architecture, but I would think running the graffics on the GPU would be mostly do-able. In fact looking at the Screen Shots I am betting they already do this. Perhaps a little bit of Rough Multi-Core support may be possible, though probably not really easy. But Multi-Core / Multi-Threaded is !!*_HARD_*!! Not just because they started single core, it really is non-trivial. That all being said, boy I can hardly wait for this game to hit 1.0!! Gary
