PSE 5 and Duo Core

Does anyone know first hand if this version takes advantage of the new Duo Core processors like Premere Elements does. PE 2 shows text indicating that a dual core processor is detected when PE 2 is loading.
Thanks.

Hi

I am running a core 2 duo and all is fine. I think I saw something flash durring the load regarding dual core, but I was more concerned with it running that I wasn't paying that much attenetion.

I run a duo core too and I haven't seen any problems but I also was busy making sure everything was working. All is well here.

duo core

Do you see if PSE 5 actually takes advantage of it? The program should operate substantially faster and smoother if it really does.

Sorry Dave

I got it after I got the duo core.

But it is faster than 3 on my PIII.

I also have a duo core PC. Adobe states that they support the duo core, but stop short of out right stating that they use both processers. You could aways try opening the task manager and select the performance tab, then open PE5 and undergo some intense usage and at the same time observe the cpu performance.

PSE would only run faster if it's multithreaded. Even if not, I plan to get a duo 2 MB upgrade because then my PC won't be bogged down while I'm generating a WMV slideshow, loading the editor(s) (MUCH slower than in version 3.0) and so on. So, 300% more horsepower, 2x the memory, faster disk. Then it will be as fast as version 3.0. :-)

I don't see much of a difference between the speed of my PE5 and PE4. It's sure fast with all my other software though

I didn't see that much difference neither. My guess is that it must show during processing of multiple files and applying filters to large files.
