Tony,

Yes, setting up the dual processor machine as a render node will make use of both processors on it (you will have 3 active "render boxes", assuming your using 1 single processor machine as the host and a dual processor as the render node). I have done this using a laptop as the host, and a dual processor machine as a render node, and it works very well.

Charles,
Thanks for the clarification on the performance of dual core vs. dual processors. I thought that the dual core macines might be a bit slower than an equivalant dual processor..

Too slow, sorry for the cross post!!
