Hello,
If I have a computer with 2 physical processors...
It will povray run faster than with only one processor?
What version of povray is able to use multiprocessor? version 3.6 or 3.7 or
none?
The use of more than one CPU depends on the application or depends on the
OS?
Megapov XRS seems to use multiprocessor, but is easy to use under Windows?

Regargs,
Joel.

To date, only version 3.7 which works fine.
Megapov XRS: I have no experience myself.
