Hi Kevin, Thanks for the comments! On Sun, 2007-09-30 at 11:56 -0400, Kevin Brosius wrote: > rather poor performers.

However, after thinking about it awhile, OpenGL really only effects playback performance, which already seems pretty good on the octo-core, even with only 16MB video memory.
What I might do is purchase a VisionTek Radeon x1550, which is known to work with the motherboard. That will give me back my dual monitors at least! :) > One comment on performance: In my recent builds and testing on AMD X2 > 64bit suse 10.2, I found that optimizing the cinelerra build was of no > benefit, and sometimes was a penalty.

I have been building cin from CVS source myself; however, I did not tweak any of the optimization flags. I just let ./configure do its thing. I have the whole configure/make/compile chain output, if interested. I guess my first question would be: Though I see that Cinelerra is not using 100% of the processors while editing or rendering, is this really an issue? I tend to think it is, and Graham and I talked about possible memory or front side bus bottlenecks. If it is, do you know where I might look to diagnose such an issue? In the meantime, I will do some googling to find any relevant procedures. looking forward to your opinion, scott _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
