how much ram is it using? and have you tried running muiltiple renders on your 6 core amd?
my first thought is your transfer speed may become a bottleneck. my thought would be to get an intel 2600 enough ram to cover 8 jobs at once and an ssd that good at multitreaded read. though it may run faster to disable hyperthreading and just run 4 jobs at once.
