[Walter Soyka] “First, buy more RAM for your workstation. 6 GB is nowhere near enough. If you upgrade to 24 GB, you can use multiprocessing very effectively on a 4-core machine.”

I already did and now I have 18 GB RAM.

[Walter Soyka] “Second, carefully evaluate your workflow. For example, rendering to image sequences instead of a movie allows you to re-render only the changed frames for small edits.”

I already did that too.

[Walter Soyka] “Network rendering requires a very fast network and very fast shared storage. See one of my posts on network rendering [link] for more.”

For that, I will switch to gigabit Ethernet and on the server, couple of 15K at RAID 1 drives or SSD drives and again on the server a quad-port server nic adapter to allow more bandwidth for the clients’ multiple connection to the server both for reading and writing.

[Walter Soyka] “Don’t worry about your GPU. Unless you’re using a third-party effect that is specifically written for GPU accelerations, AE renders on the CPU only.”

I was thinking of a Tesla solution or something like that, which I do not know much about…
