PC specification to get best performance from C1Pro 3.7
We have been using C1 for a number of years now and have been very happy with the software, we now use 3.7.1. It has transformed our business, we now shoot on Canon 1Ds MkII's.
Due to the number of raw files we have to process our old PC's are just taking too long to process the images. We have decided to upgrade the PC's.
There is not any point in over specifying a PC if the software will not take advantage of the hardware. Would it be posssible to indicate a specification that will give the maximum performance from the software at present.
Would a Pentium D processor work better than a P4 or dual processor Xeon machine or a 64 bit processor?.
Does L2 on chip cache make much difference or would 8Mb of Ram over say 2Mb make more of a difference?.
Is processor speed the main factor when processing the images?.
Without knowing how the software addresses the processor / memory etc it is a bit difficult to make an informed decision.
Sorry to go on a bit but I am sure you get the point
Cheers

Capture One is a 32-bit application where by a 64-bit processor would not make sence to buy.
Capture One does support dual processor where by it will take full advantage of both Dual core and Hyper Threading.
1Gb is plenty of memory for Capture One however you might want to go for more if you will be PhotoShopping.
L2 cache should not make that much difference (compaired to price!) when this is more for reoccuring calucaltion where 512kb/1mb should be more then fine unless you are planning to run the computer as your application/SQL/SNA/SharePoint server at the same time.
One last pointer might be to have fast harddrive and memory.0 -
I too have been 'wanting' for more rendering speed.
I have just built a new AMD Dual core machine WinXP, 4GB, with 5 SATA II harddrives. One boot drive, 2 Drives Mirrored for data, 2 Drives Stripped for rendering to.
I am able to render 10 100% 16bit Tiff files from my 1ds MII in about 3.5 minutes- or about 21 seconds each.
The system is dual core so I suppose it appears as a dual processor system- Ulf, do you think there is any benifit in using a QUAD processor system?
How does this speed compare to your system Ikon?0 -
Thats hard to compare - my Pentium-M 1.6GHz notebook needs approx 25sec to convert one *istD RAW to JPG.
(Yeah, it is faster then my 2.8GHz P4 desktop that needs about 35sec)
I think to really compare we would need to use the same RAW files and settings.

We are at about 35 seconds an image. but I have just ordered a dual core Pc with Raid 0 drives. so I wait to see an improvement.....0 -
Just don't bother going to Windows x64 because C1 Pro doesn't support it ...
