dosbox runs fine on duo core processors, but it uses only one core.

Blood works fine for me at 20+ fps using default settings.

And maybe get a new username.

There is no "duo core" only "core duo".

Is it supported? Yes.

Is your processor fast enough for Blood? Probably not. (Mabye at 320x resolutions it might be).

And maybe get a new username.

I thought I'm the only one noticing this. I can only hope the opriginal poster's rl surename is "Himmler". If that's not the case then the nick is stupid and tasteless.

I was wondering if DoxBox .74 supports duo core processors or not. I am running the game "Blood" and have had a lot of issues with the framerate being slow, sometimes even getting down to 1 or 2 per second. I am curious to know whether or my duo core is supported or not by DB .74 because some people have told me that it is not and that it is a big part of the problem I am having. Also, when I check the task manager and look at how much of my CPU DB is using, it is usually around 45-48%. Is there any way I can get it up to maybe 80% manually?

I have a quadcore and dosbox uses 25%, max unless capture is turned on, then I might get it to 38% (See multi-threaded capture patch.) The average game barely uses more than 5%.

There is no way to make a game multi-threaded that wasn't originally designed as such, which is all dos games (unless you count emulating 3rd party peripherals like the sound cards and 3D accelerators.)
