Hi

I have a VTX (1 rm) Onyx, with 4 R4400's. I am using an MCO
to display multiple (4) views. My question is, should I have
a single pipe, and render each channel through the same pipe,
or should I have, say 2 pipes (software) and render half
through one and half through the other. The reason I am
asking is, I realise that having two software pipes on a
single hardware pipe machine is in-efficient, but, as I have
spare cpu's, I could have two draw and two cull processes (if
I configured it as, say two pipes). Has anyone else tried this?
I could experiment myself but I am sure someone already knows what
would be best here.

bye
Richard
