Second Processor

[Kimberly Rodgers]

Can you recommend an additional processor to add to a 64 bit laptop to increase the rendering speed?  I was looking at comp USA, not sure how much I should get

How can you add one more processor on your laptop?

I sure would like to know how to work this miracle too.

I dont think you can add a 2nd processor to a laptop...

You can buy a new laptop with a quad core processor or if you have a 2nd pc lying around you can try using the render farm.

This kind of thing varies from impossible to very difficult for a regular person to do.  The manufacturer of your laptop (or a very good laptop repair shop) should be able to tell you if a processor upgrade is possible-- but it's unlikely.  I'd consider a fast desktop for rendering purposes.  Laptops with a lot of horsepower tend to overheat anyway when faced with long renderings.

 

 The answer to your question is that nXt is very processor dependent-- the fastest one with the most cores will generally produce the best results.
