- Confirm.. The NT 3.5 Workstation comes with the ability to Multiprocess
- on 2 CPUs out of the box. For more than that, well... I think that you have
- to work that out with your system builder -- though, there's not that many
- quad pentiums out there yet. :-)
-
- As far as if Lightwave will be able to use both CPUS at once -- this depends
- on whether the program is built with the ability to spawn seperate process
- threads (say, spinning off a rendering to a seperate execution thread while
- you are editing you model.)
-
- Although I'd dare say that the ability to render out a model in Lightwave
- and write out a report in Word with both tasks running full speed ahead
- would be handy at times.
