Question about how to get the most out of my dual processor PC
 

I noticed something that kind of irks me. Im rendering 3 vids at a time and my processors are at 45% usage and the 3 vidoes are taking 1.5 hours to render. Now, wouldnt it make more sense if I could make the processors work 100% and get the videos done in 40 minutes? Anybody with a solution? Smokey? anyone?

Thanks

windows task manager -> processes -> and switch the software you are using to realtime priority

Are you sure the application you're using can utilize multiple processors? My guess is that it probably doesnt.

this should help a bit i think,but the best would be to run two copies of the software and assign each one on different cpu

How can I tell?

Im using vegas to render mpegs. Do u know of software that can utilize dual procesors?

Also, anybody know how to overclock my processors?
They are liquid cooled so im not worried about heat.
