I have a quad 550mhz machine with 2gb ram (SGI visual workstation). I find
that with mapinfo the extra cpu's do nothing. If you have the task monitor
up while things are running you see it only ever uses one cpu for mapinfo or
vertical mapper.

Subject: MI Windows NT workstations using RAMBUS and 133 Mhz mainboards
Has anyone started using MapInfo on a Windows NT workstation with PC800
(400 Mhz) RAMBUS RAM on a 133 Mhz main board with 3D Labs Oxygen VX1 32
MB video card. We are going to be getting a dual PIII 667 Mhz (256 Kb
ondie cache) with 128 MB PC800 RAMBUS RAM, and a Quantum Fireball Plus
30.0 GB HD. Our video card will be a 3D Labs Oxygen VX1 32 MB card.
WE're interested in hearing from anyone who has had experience with any
or all of these components using MapInfo / Vertical Mapper / Virtual
Frontier. We'll be pseudo benchmarking these software applications with
the above mentioned system and comparing to a PII 350 Mhz 128 MB PC100
RAM, with an ATI Rage 4 MB video card, and a Western Digital 12 GB HD.
I would appreciate any insight fellow GIS tech's out there have as we're
hoping to gain alot form this investment in technology.
