Please help! We have Revit 2008 and I am constantly doing multiple renderings for everyone in the office but my machine just can't keep up. I currently have a P4 3G, 2.99G, 2 GB of Ram. I would prefer not to make that jump to Vista since the rest of the office is on XP.

Don't jump to Vista yet. They're still working things out. I personally would wait a good year to do that. You need to tell everyone to render their own or tell your boss you are now the chief rendering specialist and get you a better computer. Though it might not help much. Revit doesn't support a render farm like Max/Viz. Maybe talk your boss into that! And grab VRay or Maxwell along the way. You might also find some company on the web that renders things like this, though I've never heard of one specifically for Revit.

Revit itself won't take advantage of Dual-Core processors, but the Acurender rendering engine built into Revit should get some performance gain from Dual-Core processors. HTH

Sweet! Many opinions about the Accurender engine. I personally don't like it, never have. But I've seen some terrific renderings, but nothing compares to some of the stuff VRay and Maxwell put out. Hopefully you got one of these two and a render farm. If you are going full time with visualization here's two site that are top notch, especially Vis Masters. CGArchitect Vis Masters
