<p>There should be an Update Manager in the Start menu. Grab and install 0267. If this doesn't work I'll send a link.</p>

<p>Okay. Just tried to install and run ArStudio, but I get this message inside AutoCAD:</p>

<p>Sort of-- nXt has a hard-coded max of 32 but you get diminishing returns before than point. If you go beyond 32 they can sometimes be used, depending on the load. I guess I would still think of 32 as a practical limit.</p>

<p>ArStudio should do much better-- far more threads are created than the number of physical cores present, the scheduler and the load balancing is much improved, and the hard-coded limit is gone. I've only got 16 physical cores here, so it's a bit hard to…</p>

<p>ArStudio should do much better-- far more threads are created than the number of physical cores present, the scheduler and the load balancing is much improved, and the hard-coded limit is gone. I've only got 16 physical cores here, so it's a bit hard to test. It's almost a moot point since I implemented noise-reduction, most renderings converge so fast now that I'm not yearning for extra cores.</p>
