that's what I did. Every addon you have adds a minimum of 20s onto loadtime. Every folder in that addon adds 5s. PHX is made of folders. This issue does not come up when you copy the contents of an addon to the garrysmod folder, though lots of folders will slow you a bit.

Pentium D = Pentium Dual Core = 2 Pentium 4's = 2 x 2.8Ghz

This is not single core.

Garrys mod is not a multicore game. It only uses 1 core at a time anyway and it being 2.8GHz its pretty decent.

It only uses 1 core? D:
I guess my Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz     is pretty useless seeing as this is the only game I play Tongue
