  • Dual Core Used Effectively?

    When rendering with Vegas 6, how I can know if I am effectively using the Core 2 Duo processor on my Dell 390 workstation?

    When I open Windows Task Manager I don’t see two processes that deal with rendering and I don’t see CPU performance at capacity. Any suggestions?

    There aren’t two separate processes, but you should clearly see both cores being used. I don’t think they’ll be at 100% because there’s overhead.

    Been a while since I used Vegas6, but I know with 7 it’s so aggressive I use Process Tamer to kick it down to Low priority. It sits at about 98-100% usage.
