Thanks for the replys.
However, from what has been said, I don't think at the moment it is worth
getting a dual processor system (why pay more and have more hassle for little
performance improvement!)
I find it a bit strange though that IDL can't be implimented in this way. If
IDl could be run with multithreads it would enable some of the IDL processing
functions such as rendering and projections to be done on the fly (our
radiologists would like that!) Is this a possible enhancement of IDL in the
future, or will pigs fly first??
Cheers
