Does gimp take advantage of multiple processors? I'm trying to research into buying a new motherboard and my main app is gimp under RH7.1.
I recently ditched PhotoShop 6.0 on Windows2000 coz I got fed up with it crashing and I hate the Windows GUI. $600 down the drain, but I've not looked back yet. I am currently running on a Celeron433 on a 440ZX motherboard. I saw a thread earlier that talked about graphics boards, which confused me a little - correct me if I'm wrong, but gimp makes little to no use of h/w acceleration on graphics boards. According to my research, more important are the processor's floating point performance and the memory<->CPU bandwidth/latency. Currently, I am concluding that an AMD Athlon 1800 for the processor, but there are also dual processor boards coming out. What performance benchmark most closely resembles gimp? How do I choose? Max. __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
