How to maximize workflow when using dual xeon processor

[Darby Edelen]

[jres_bato] “for example, when i started to ram preview a certain project of mine, it only uses 1 processor. i tried to avoid using Gridiron ’cause it beats the purpose of setting up a multiprocessor pc. help please. tnx”

…If you want to use multiple processors/cores then you need to either upgrade to CS3 or buy GridIron Nucleo. If you did either of those things then more RAM wouldn’t hurt either.

I am not sure if you watched the demo for nucleo pro but with NP you can render and keep working at the same time. You can also assign # of processors to do certain tasks.You can tell it to render you timeline when you are idle or create faster previews. If you want you can also tell it to take over the machine completely and it will ride your processors like there is no tommorow.

I use dual dual amd opteron w/nucleo pro and cant imagine a workflow without it.

I hope this helps,
Cheers
