having a lot of RAM is good for a large ePenis, but i would be surprised if the rendering program uses more than 1-1.5 gb. unless it's a shitty program.

if it's a good program the number of CPU cores definitely make a difference. I have 2 machines here, one with an older core2duo and one with a quadcore. both need more or less the same time for one video - but the quad core has 4 parallel slots compared to 2 on the other machine and is therefore twice as fast on bigger jobs.

so my next machine will have 2 quad cores which cuts down encoding time by another 50%
