I would be interested in how you make out in your time savings. So say on a single pc it took 13 hours to render and with 5 pc's with rendercow it took ....3.

I ask because I hooked up another pc to my network and rendered an animation using rendercow and two PC's. I dont know what it was for sure but i wasnt  very impressed with the time savings. I can hook upto 3 pc's in my home but wondering if its worth as it seemed to take just as much time with my one pc.....Yes it depends on cpu and memory ...both my machine are dual core 2.6 ghz w/2 gigs of ram each. I guess i was expecting more out of rendercow ...? From what i could see my local machine did 3 times more frames than the other pc.

just curious..
