I'm about to add a second P3 1 gig to my system and I've got a question: What are the Vegas/SoundForge benefits? Will the second processor aid in disc access? Will it let me run more tracks? Will it let me run more effects? How about render times? Basically, I'm curious as to if I'm going to realize a huge performance gain. I'm running WIN 2000 with all drives NTFS, and my 2 30 gig Western Digital Audio drives are RAIDED in the 0 mode.
So far, I've been quite happy. My RAID benched higher than everything else using Sandra 2001 (I couldn't believe it!). Once the 2nd CPU is in place I'll run some serious stress tests with Vegas. I don't plan to run a ton of tracks at once on a regular basis, but I will use quite a few plug ins...and I've been working strictly in 24/96.
