4 core or not 4 core

[muppet]

hi

my mate has a core 2 extreme an was wondering if dropping a quad core might speed things up a bit . he renders wedding vids and suchlike . is there much software to take advantage of the extra cores or would it be best to hang on for a while .

cheers

If he's using something like Sony Vegas then it'll use all 4 cores.

Sony Vegas is a program for rendering videos with adding music and various other effects. Nice bit of gear actually
