Dual AMD

[bdemenil]

Just upgraded to dual AMD MP 1600 with tyan motherboard. I was using a 1.2 gig thunderbird. In terms of plugin-dsp, this new machine is more than 4X more powerfull than my old one. Some of this is attributable to the faster memory - pc 2100 ddr - as opposed to the pc 133 I was running before. I ran 4 waves RVerbs and 1 waves C4, and my CPU was only at 40%. Under win2K, the load is being well balanced between the 2 procs. What can I say - just wanted to share with everyone that dual AMDs work very well for audio.

BTW - i am running ntrack with delta 1010, but i think all major software will work fine with multiprocessor.

thread revisited

Does this mean that your audio prog runs "multi-threaded(?)"? Im curious about this concept. What progs utilise multiple processors??

All programs that are decently written can utilise multiple CPUs, if the OS supports it.
