Quad-core setup for MIX system working.. better than single
Well; I was having random problems with my only P4 system so I finnaly bit the bullet
and built a quadcore system this weekend; I was waiting for various reasons; but finally found a board with 5 pci slows. Ga-P35-S3G and it works faster than my single core P4 at 3.4 did. I have a parts list; but some of the depressing things it is indeed only using 1 core; although the rest of the machine doesn't get sluggish it only does 1 core of rtas. but in my case that was 3x as many as before anyway. |

Re: Quad-core setup for MIX system working.. better than sin
Are you saying that you cannot assign more than 1 core to RTAS processing or that the OS only sees 1 of the 4 cores? The first case would be strange, the second one makes me think the OS hasn't been installed in multicore support fashion. I have a friend with a Q6600 Intel Quad Core based system, and he can assing all 4 cores to RTAS processing: Look Here

Welcome to Quadville.
While 6.4 will only use one core many other apps you run will see all 4.

Re: Quad-core setup for MIX system working.. better than sin
Ooops, I stand corrected. Then it's how it should be. If you happen to upgrade to HD and post 7 versions of PT you'll see a really HUGE amount of RTAS processing power. So much that I'm looking for a used HD card and build a Quad for the HD1 to be used only with RTAS and outboard with a Lynx Aurora 16.
Cheers L.G. |

Who is the manufacturer? Gigabyte? Are the PCI slots together so you can use lots of HD Accel cards? Thanks, -Andres |
