OK ... here is a more technical question. Does Band in a Box use multiple processors effectively.

For example, I have an Athelon II quad-core on my main Dell computer. I'm thinking about getting a similar motherboard-CPU set for my second computer (~$200). Music synthesis is something were parallel scaling has been widely researched, and used in the movie industry. The ramp up is linear. And the Athelon II is a great deal ~$85 since they are using old fab technology.

That said, from what I see on the Win7 performance monitor, BiB seems to be using only processors 2 and 3, maybe not even simultaneously ... and it doesn't seem to be using much of their capacity (maximum is 35%). If BiB is using just one processor, that would suggest that the best platform is a fast 64-bit dual core processor.

Is there any experience here (I can't find any commentary on this in the various forums).
