Trying to get a lot of rendering done for a surprise short deadline freelance gig, and discovered that my old system is way faster than the new box I put together this month...
Old system:
AMD Athlon 4600
2gb mem
XP Pro
My old system:
AMD Phenom 9850
4Gb mem
Vista Home Premium x64
Opening the same project file in Vegas 8 on both and rendering some hour long clips to WMV takes about an hour on the old system, but 3.5 to 4 hours on the new one. Looking at CPU usage, the old system is using 100% while the new one never goes over 40% usage.
Any idea of what tweaks I need to do? As far as I can see, I've got Vegas' preferences the same between both systems. Disable multi-processor is not checked. I'd blame it on a Vista glitch if my third computer, a Vista x64 laptop, wasn't using the whole CPU when I tested rendering the same files on it.
