Ok, that's great information! Thanks! Look like 2 cores are more useful than one so far.

The DSP and the GUI run in separate processes, so there is some benefit. But the DSP is all in one process, so that will always run on one CPU. AFAIK, Gem processing will also be included in that one process, while PDP has the ability to split the processing out into a separate thread.

Hi!

Anyone know if PD is aided by SMP? I'm throwing together a new box in which I will install UbuntuStudio with the intention of using it as a live processing rig for live performance using PD. I'm interested in discovering whether it makes more sense to get a Core 2 Quad processor that runs with a bus speed of 1066 or a Core 2 Duo processor that runs with a bus speed of 1333. The idea is to reduce latency as much as possible. I'll get I/O via a RME 9652 and a couple Behringer ADA8000 units. Also, any thoughts on how ram speed plays into this equation? I'm looking at the Intel dg33fb board.
