Many of our customers using our dual processor KittyHawk system open two
instances of Lightwave and render under each instance. This slows down the
first render about 5%, so you get 190% of the rendering power of a single
processor KittyHawk.
Although this still is half the rendering horsepower of our Alpha-based
BarnStormer, it is still a great production machine, and it runs 32-bit
Windows applications like Photoshop that just won't support the
BarnStormer's RISC architecture.
