Wow, awesome. You probably already have hardware acceleration turned on, right?
So if it holds, are you going to test putting the new cameras on the same system?
Funny you mention hardware acceleration. I started a thread on that very feature as I couldn't get it working and my CPU usage went through the roof when turned on. Seems none of the i7 extreme CPUs have the graphics functions, so it's all software rendering.
The new cams will be on the same system. My goal is to have all 42 cams on one machine.
