is there a particular version of SF that takes advantage of dual cpu like Intel core duo? if this has been covered my apologies:-)

tnx,

From what I can tell it (Sound Forge 9) runs the user interface in a separate process from the effects. This means that it is technically multi-core/multi-processor capable but it probably doesn't help much.

It's possible that some or all of the effects can use multi-core/multi-processor systems but I haven't been able to confirm this.

Sound Forge 9 is the only one that I've bothered to find out about.

I ask because my Adobe Premiere Elements evidently uses dual cpu as it reports that it has detected dual cpu on startup and wondered about SF.

tnx,

Anything in particular you want verifying?
Processing, viewing etc>?

Or just an overview, general yes/no answer?

What about <ctrl><alt><del>'ing to the task manager and check the cpu usage in the performance tab as you do a processor intensive operation.
Going by this, my SF 9.0e appears to use both processors. Though I know this isn't exactly conclusive proof, but you can trust XP - can't you ;-)

I wonder if there are just some effects that use more than one cpu or if they all do. I know some third party VST and DirectX plugins state that they are multi-cpu capable while others don't seem to be.
