Is there any indications from autodesk if they will be supporting a multi-processor system in the future? My company is planning on purchasing a computer specifically for rendering stills and video in revit. Ive been given a budget of between 4 and 7 thousand doallars, wich I know should be able to purchase the fastest stuff out there. Should I go ahead and order somthing with dual Xeon's in the hope that revit will support it eventually? This is what im considering.
