Networked gaming or AI might benefit from it, though.


There have been one or two interesting articles on Valve's updated 
Half-Life engine.  They've done a fairly decent job of making it more 
parallel and have some good demos to show the difference.  I don't have 
any links offhand, though I recall one article being on
