I assume that Fractint can only run on one of the cores at a time. Can you run multiple simultaneous instantiations of Fractint and have each render part of the image?
Maybe you could run multiple DOS VM's and (depending on your VM manager and host OS) have each one run on a separate core. Partitioning out the image would probably require some batch file magic.
Is the Windows version multi threaded?
Don't know, never looked at it. Don't have any Windows machines here.
Is there a Linux version?
Yes - XFractint.
I have a new Dell server with quad 6 core processors that is waiting to go into a new instrument but could be diverted at night during development and during the day when installed ;=)
