Hi All,
Just built out a Quad Core PC for Myself and decided to run a small test on Encoding A Scanner Darkly.
My old setup was a Pentium D 950 (3.4Ghz Stock) overclocked to 4.1Ghz, I gig of Ram, Motherboard Asus P5WD2-Premium, 3 WD HD 7200's with 8mb buffers.
My new setup Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 (2.66 Stock) overclocked to 3.09Ghz, 2Gig Ram, Intel BadAxe2 Motherboard 1 Raptor 150gb & 2 Seagate 7200.10 320gb Harddrives.
Used DVD Rebuilder Professional V1.21, Procoder was set to Mastering Quality and Extras was set to 10% Reduction, Multiple Encoder Processes was enabled. Although It only started two instances of Procoder on each machine (I thought it might start 4 instances on the Quad Core but it didn't, although all 4 cores where used but not to 100% Load, it seemed to average around 83%)
Just looking at the Procoder Encoding it took the Pentium D Dual Core 134 Minutes to complete.
On the Quad Core it took 58 Minutes!!!!
So very happy with the results of the upgrade
