My 4.0GHz i7 920 renders the same scene in 2m 2s with HT on.

Real world proof in VUE 7 - no synthetic benchmark crap. Now just think of what it does when I have 2-3 day render jobs!

THAT is precisely why I bought the i7 vs. a Q9550 or something...
Guys i'm doing dvd-video to xvid and divx conversions in tmpgenc xpress 4 latest version supports core i7 but seems the gain is with ssd as source drive as HT and no HT result in about same times - with no HT slightly faster

so what other encoding/conversion app would you guys suggest that's easy to setup and run ?
