$ Cores and counting....
Posted on 1/5/2009 by Curt Fetter, Dvee Media Productions

Intel Mac Pro
Posted on 12/31/2008 by Ted Maynard, Media Arts Center

Dual quad-core Xeons for 8 cores, with high speed front side bus, but the 3Gb effective RAM limit in 32-bit Windows XP is holding the machine back. Probably should upgrade to 64-bit Vista and double the installed memory to 8 gig for better performance. But despite being hobbled by RAM it screams through renders, even with four channels of HD. Every little bit helps.

I have four but have avoided paying attention to the new processors because I can't afford another computer yet. But I noticed the biggest performance jump on machines with lots of Fast RAM.

I'm looking at getting a Intel Dual Core system for my editing work. 1 Processor takes to long. It was fine for before, but now I need something faster.
Posted on 9/29/2008 by Francois Blawat

Hope to upgrade VERY soon!!
Posted on 9/25/2008 by Ruth Harvey

Three of our four main computers are single core, but our newest addition is a quad. Any future purchases will be at least quad-cores.
Thanks and God Bless, Curtis Powell.

Two Quad Cores here.


Posted on 9/24/2008 by Ross Brewer, Well-Brewed Media Prod, LLC

I bought a computer! Wow! With two processors!
But then I heard the quad with the four cores and I was like "this is it", so I got rid of the dual core and got the quad.
I'm listening to this thing and I'm like "Hey this sounds like crap!"
So, I got rid of that and got the dodecaphonic with the 12 cores.
This was more to my liking...for a while. But the year gets pretty sophisticated pretty fast and I got rid of that and got the milliphonic with the 1,000 cores.
And I'm listening to that one and I'm like, "Hey, this sounds like crap too! The other one was crap one, this one is crap two!"
So, I traded that in and got the googlephonic, which is the highest number of cores you can have before infinity.
Sounds like crap!
So, then I said, "Hey, maybe it's the needle!"
I had the typical diamond needle. I searched around got the moonrock needle, cost me 3 million bucks, but what the hey. So, now I have a googlephonic stereo with a moonrock needle.

I'm a PC. And it has an Intel quad core CPU Q6600 with 4Gb of ram and 8800 SLI mode graphics. It is very fast machine. I love it, and building another one.

I just built my very first computer from the ground up. I installed an Intel Core Quad Processor with Windows Vista 64bit.
Superfast.........I didn't have any issues running Digital Juice with my old system but, this new build is running perfect and loads a lot faster.

I started with a single core and upgraded to a quad. The increased rendering time is incredible! I was so used to clicking the render button then doing something while it's rendering (go to bathroom, get a snack, go to sleep etc....). The quad core is so much faster that I actually enjoy clicking render now!
Posted on 9/22/2008 by Sheldon Blais

Just got 2 for now. Next computer purchase will have a minimum of 4.

Posted on 9/22/2008 by Thomas Glinskas, TAG Video

I am not really sure if the software most of us work with actually sees and uses dual quads to gain us any real performance. We may be spending more money than we have too.

Well, when I bought my Mac they didn't have cores, they had processors, so I said 2 cores but I think it's really 2 processors and not one processor with 2 cores. Make sense?

Posted on 9/22/2008 by Damon Hancock, BTCchurch

I guess if I had an Apple, I'd have an apple core...but I don't. My video computer is an old HP laptop that is over 5 years old and was a hand-me-down from a neighbor. So old I can't find memory for it and am stuck at 512. But 17" widescreen, firewire, Harmon Karden speakers and a docking stand that raises the screen to the same height as an external monitor with a ton of extra USB ports for my HDD's along with other ports in it just could not be passed up. :) And I can switch keyboards anytime I want...one has Vegas shortcut stickers on it, the other has Photoshop stickers on it. Yeah, I can never remember the keyboard commands... *duh*

One now next upgrade Quad or more
Posted on 9/22/2008 by Nathan Brockman, Reiman Gardens

I just recently upgraded to a Quad-core Vista machine from a Pentium 4 XP Machine, and I love the increased rendering speed! I was a little reticent to move to Vista, but finding an XP machine was almost impossible. Vista hasn't bitten me yet, but I know that it will.

Hi, I'm a PC who would love to afford a Mac. Is there a support group for me?

Mac Pro Dual quad core 2.8 xeons with 6 gigs of RAM. Just think...Bill Gates once said " No one will ever need more than 256 kb of RAM and in the 1960's a 128 Khz computer took up a city block. Today we wouldn't even think about a computer of that speed for anything more mundane than powering a watch or a coffee pot. Boy have times changed
Posted on 9/22/2008 by Neil Samuels, First Coast Post

Just 2 - looking forward to 80 cores.
Posted on 9/22/2008 by James Bucciferro

I was disappointed at the performance of my 8 core MacPro at first but once I understood the way commands are passed to the separate cores I realised that 8 cores was perhaps too much for most of my work. (I'm a graphic and web designer first and deal with animation secondary).
Posted on 9/22/2008 by Craig John

If I added all the cores from my 2 machines, it would come out to 6.
Posted on 9/22/2008 by Stephen Czapiewski, OOMM Studios

Depends on the computer - My laptop has a Core 2 Duo - My work desktop has one Xeon and my home PC has one Pentium. I voted for two cores but I really have four!
