Slow rendering
I have just bought a new PC, it has two 3g Xeon duel core chips and hypo-threading with 2 gb DDR ram and an ATI 256 mb graphics card and it was taken twice as long to render as my old 3gb with 1 gb of sd ram and a 128 mb Nvider card. The more of the hypo-threading and duel cores we turn off the faster it renders. Can anybody tell me what going on and how I can improve things.
Thanks
Bill

For some reason Maya dosent seem to like hyperthreading, also make sure that you enable multi threads or maya willl just use one core.
Theres a thread on the subject over at cgtalk about "fastest render in with maya 7/8" (thats not the thread title but you'll see it if you have a look in the maya thread) The guys there show the settings etc so you can post your settings and get some advice.
Hope this helps you out.
Cheers
