I noticed cinelerra uses only one processor when you're working on the video. However, it uses 2 processors when rendering (1 for cinelerra and 1 for mpeg2enc). That's why the speed of each processor is really important. > Also what would be a great card to get.

I'll wait for cinelerra CV to reach the 2.1 version and use OpenGL too, to decide if a graphics card upgrade is that important in cinelerra.
