My current Dual Xeon has been awesome but is 2.5 times
slower than the newer crops and so I am looking at re-
placing it . Here's my dilemma ;

 Sorry , 2.5 times slower is for a single quad core ,
5 times slower for the Dual-Quad cores .

 Alisdair , not sure what you mean by render with 2 cpu's .

Thanks

Hi :

 My current Dual Xeon has been awesome but is 2.5 times
slower than the newer crops and so I am looking at re-
placing it . Here's my dilemma ;

When doing RS Gi , 1 CPU will be working and 7 CPU's will
be sitting idle !

 Is there a workaround where I can tell RS to only render
every 4th or 8th frame ? We have the "Frame Commands" in
the render panel so couldn't we insert a "render every
4th frame" java or RPL command ? Must be a way .

 World Construction Set isn't and probably will never be
multi-threaded but it has always had a "Render Every Xth
Frame" in it's Render Panel . That way we could fire up
several instances of WCS and have all our CPU's working
away .

Thanks in advance for any suggestions .
