Hi All,
I see how you can use network rendering by taking advantage of multithreading hyper-threading technology on a single PC and/or distributing to up to 2 additional PC on your network. My understanding, however, is that you CAN NOT use this method to render out MainConcept files for input to DVD Architect.
It seems that you would render uncompressed AVI's using the network method. Would that not require additional rendering and or loss of quality in DVD Architect? Or am I missing something?
PENTIUM D REVIEW:
I finally sucked it up and got a PC upgrade. Fairly on a whim, I got the Sony VGC RA Vaio. 2.8 GHz dual core Pentium D technology. I was sucked in by the promise of "super quite operation", decent price, and the fact that we had a "tax fee day" in MA yesterday.
This thing has a hole through the middle of it (you gotta see it) and a unique cooling system including a large but low noise/RPM fan. It is VERY quiet.
Also super powerful compared to my old PIII 933MHz. Rendering speed increased 3 fold as expected. I have not attempted to use this single box for network rendering (taking advantage of the dual cores). Has anyone done that? Is it possible similar to the HT way? What kind of performance boost do you get if so?
Thanks!
Jeff
