| I have a quad core 2.2 GHz core i7 processor with multi-threading. Roblox uses all eight virtual cores which makes my computer go haywire. Anyone found out a way to limit this yet? |

CTRL + ALT + DEL to bring up the task manager. Go to the Roblox process "Set afinity"
Of course, why would you want to limit what cores something runs on? The windows thread scheduler is pretty smart, it will make sure all of your things get the time they need, and you'll probably just degrade performance by trying to manually set what processors stuff runs on. |

Yeah so?
Do you happen to have an Intal Media Accelerator as a GPU? |

Are you accelerating graphics with your CPU or something stupid like that? I have a Intel Core i5-2430M processor and Roblox only uses ~11% of it. I see no problem.
@stravant
Instead of pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and then clicking Task Manager, you can just do CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open it. :3 |

| Also, it's only the studio program that uses the 8 cores and screws everything up. |

You'd think being on a mac was important enough a fact to put in the original post. =/
It might a bug (mac roblox is still in development), perhaps post about it here: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=39 |

| why would you get a Mac for gaming? Mac's aren't really gaming computers. |

That's really besides the point. You can't really disagree with the statement that "macs aren't really gaming computers" when 90% of the gaming stuff out there is developed solely or primarily for windows machines.
That's not to say that they couldn't be if history had gone differently, but the fact is that right now they aren't. |

Sometimes, other graphically-advanced multiplayer online games does not lag on my laptop, but playing a normal ROBLOX game would kind of lag.
