Re: Premiere CS3 and dual quad-core mobo performance

I don't own anything above a dual core that doesn't have Vista 64 on it, so I can't confirm it. Someone swore to me that xp can see al cores on a Quad. hmmm, I guess it won't. I think what he meant is that XP/Vista 32 will see all cores, but that you will only be able to assign two cores per application using the "set affinity" function. Which is nice but only useful if you like to multitask. Someone confirm this once and for all?

CS3 certainly uses about 90% of all cores on our machines when it needs it, which really improves the media encoder performances. It uses about 5% of all 8 cores in the task we are talking about (image motion in SD timeline)
