Episode Two, Portal, TF2 and now DoD all make use of multiple cores by default. There are also commands which are disabled by default that you can use to (possibly) get better use of your cores, but the only one I would really recommend is host_thread_mode 1, which is mostly useful for single-player games.
I'd imagine Left 4 Dead will bring improvements in this area, however.

I highly doubt it... cross platform multiplayer is full of the fail..
Mainly XBL is a p2p setup.. while PC is server based..... it just doesnt work out.

Info on the weapons we'll be using in Left 4 Dead
...can't wait to control one of the boss zombie infected! besides the general zombie infected, there's four or five boss zombies you'll have the option of controlling!
And the most awesome enemy ever:
Smokers (1 allowed at any single moment in time)
Another form of Boss Infected, the Smoker's basic specialty is his 50-foot tongue, which he uses to grab players from a great distance (50 feet ). The tongue can be used to pull them into a mob of infected, or off a ledge to hang them, or just let them fall. He can effectively hang people if he grabs them from an above ledge, or even from a level playing field and snagging them over a lamp post, and just hold them there. Also, the longer he has a Survivor in his tongue's grasp, even if he isn't hanging them, more and more of their health will turn into temporary health, up until 100%.
Like Boomers, this bloke explodes when killed, but instead of force this guy expels smoke when in his death throes. Very thick smoke, you can't see in this stuff. Even the green outlines are hidden by this smoke, and Survivors start choking and can't use voice communication. The smoker can drop some of this smoke willingly, making him very dangerous in the right hands.
