Divx transcoding question

Can Sage transcode more than one video at a time to MVPs? What kind of CPU power would be required to transcode two .avi's (xvid/divx) at the same time?

I have a P4 3.2ghz hyperthread, and it uses about 40% of the CPU when transcoding. I never tried transcoding two streams, but I figure it would just double the CPU usage. But you gotta figure for FF/RW interactions, these commands usually spikes the CPU usage up to 100% for a few seconds.

See multiple simultaneous transcoding to multiple MVPs for some previous comments.

Thanks for the info... I don't want to have to upgrade to something like a dual core/CPU (anything) which would require a lot of money and new motherboard. Think Ill just upgrade to the fastest CPU my current one will take and hope Hauppage makes a better MVP someday, or Sage comes out with an HD extender.
