Can Neat utilize Quad core CPU's

Now I have a slightly overclocked Core Duro - but beeing a video nerd
I soon want to build a new machine - which could be a 3 GHz Core 2 Duo or the coming 45 nm quad - expected in a few minths...
For this choice I would like to know if Neat can utilize 4 cpu's or if it would be better to use the money for a higher colock rate 2 cpu chip - which Neat uses very well ?

Yes, Neat Video can use all 4 (or even 8 ) cores.
It is not easy to tell whether the speedup (because of using 4 cores instead of 2) will be proportional to the higher price of the 4-core processor because other components such as memory and system bus may become a bottleneck then. My estimation that a 4-core CPU will be about 3 times faster than a 1-core CPU.

That's great to hear. I built a quad core system for Vegas 8 and am looking forward to running Neat Video on it. I recently got a Canon HV20 which has noise at lower light levels (compared to my Sony TRV900 anyway).
I have been a user of Neat Image for several years. You folks should have sent a release announcement to the registered users.
Anyway, thanks for the useful products!

Me too, used Neatimage since 2003! Its awesome.
I just made another post asking about quad core stuff as although the cores seem to be used, they are running at about half speed

The utilization may depend on NV filter settings (for example, temporal filter radius), clip size, VirtualDub itself and other VD filters used with NV as well as codecs utilized. A typical utilization figure in our tests on a quad-core computer is 85%.
