Question
Hello,

How Many cores recognised  by our present running Operating systems(windows).
1.Actual my doubt is I would like to build a systems with AMD Opteron 6000 series (4 processors system 4*12 cores=48 cores) for the using of my Graphics Rendering Purpose (Like Maya, 3D max, Vue etc...). somebody told me with out Os support & Used Aplications support all cores are not work? is this right or not?
2.above applications (maya, 3d, e-on Vue,  etc ) use all cores or not (Including real time work and also Rendering)?

thank you for your time and attention

Answer
Windows and the 3D apps you mentioned support multi-threading (using multiple cores). Vray and Mental Ray are also multi-threaded so there are no problems there either. You should know that multi cores only come into play during the rendering, your video card has more to do with speed during real time work...

good luck,
Andrew
