Hi - OK, I decided to get a new computer for optimizations. I can get either a dual-core or a quad-core. I know TJ has run tests and decided not to rewrite AB's optimizer for multi-core, but I think I remember someone saying that they were getting a speed boost by running 2 instances of AB on a dual-core machine? So, if I got a quad-core and ran 4 instances, would they each use a different core and give me a 4X speed increase? If not, could it possibly be *slower* to get a quad-core if all instances of AB are trying to use only one core ( 1/4 of computer's power, vs 1/2 for a dual-core )? Sorry for the stupid questions, I hope someone knows more about it than me. 8 - ) Thanks!
Steve
