Willog : You enable Multithreading in Zbrush by setting Preferences : Performance : MultiDraw and MultiRender. However Zbrush does not remember those settings. Check this thread for info on how to set the multithreading permanently.
Cool stuff!!
Thankyou TVeyes 
I am going to have my dual opteron soon and this info will come in realy handy

I wonder if Hyper-threaded Pentiums get a boost?
Thanks for posting everyone, getting some interesting results here. Anyone got an Athon FX or perhaps we can look at more dual opteron results if anyone else has em. They seem to be spankin. Also would be interesting to see a 3.4ghz P4. Yes Hyperthreading boosts the performance Game Master.
As there have been 2 other 2.4Ghz AMD’s with 1GB of ram I’m adding more info on my system. (Would be intrested to see the others system to see where the differences lie)

this means a standard P4 is no match for Athlon!
My threaded number is also 9.5 but with only a dual Athlon 2400 (~2gig)
I think that’s because memory is a big deal when it comes to Z2… and since you have twice memory as him, I think that’s the reason.

Just tested again with Task Manager open so I can watch Ram useage, and the test hardly uses any Ram at all. It’s all processor power. Ram comes into play more when you use it all, and must resort to your slower HD swap.

In reply to Game Master :-
I have had Athlon before and after battling with keeping them cool (losing a couple of CPU’s) I opted to build my new machine with Intel.
May be slower but far more reliable IMHO.
Cheers!

Whoa some real interesting results here. Pentium M 1.6 at 10.xxxx score and it seems that the prescott may be better off in ZB than northwood. Anyone got an Athlon fx 53 or p4 3.4ghz northwood or prescott?
