Nice

Makes encoding MUCH more tolerable too (as well as letting you watch 2 moves at once :lol:

)

I got a seperate machine for encoding, far more favourable than using 1 machine for it since you can use your machine for something else :lol:

Does that count as dual-core? Having two pcs? :lol:

I now have six.

Btw. did I mention the 2Gb ram?

And it is not encoding I am interested in, but rendering animations with Blender. The last 26sec "film" I made, took 2.5 hrs on my old one.

6 if you count chipped xboxes as HTPCs
