Anyone used the Dual Core CPUs yet for video work?
As the prices of the Dual cores come down I'm interested to see if they could be a bit better then my single CPU for video work.
The benchmarks I have seen so far show that a single processor with HT will process .wmv files as fast as a dual core. But I have also seen that Vegas Video supports dual core and that could make life easier.
The best system still is a dual xeon and we run those in a seperate area for video encoding (www.drmpackager.com) with the digial rapids (www.digital-rapids.com) cards. They run great but they are LOUD and HOT. The movies are loud and hot too of course.. <smile>
But I just wanted to see if anyone as worked with them yet.
