Does moho supports a dual core cpu or it is the same than a single core?

I dont know exactly, but isnt this a harware-related thing?
I think if you can get a dual core to work, it isnt the software which makes trouble... :roll:

Am i right or just... stupid and dumb? :shock:

I believe that moho is single-threaded, so having a dual-core processor or even hyperthreading will not help performance. LM will correct me if I'm wrong.

The user interface runs in a single thread, and rendering runs in a single thread, so rendering will not speed up with dual cores (or dual processors). However, if you want to keep editing while a render is in progress, the editing view will remain more responsive with an extra processor/core.

At least a small advantage :D

Another alternative would be to use batch rendering, where you could script 2 renders to happen at the same time.
