I must make up my mind...fast...any opinion wanted....(urgent)
hi:
i m trying to figure out wich system i should pick....and i m gettin really confused.
its single purpose its for intensive work in apps like cad and max...i m having problems to choose between amd or intel...and i can t figure out wich graphic card should i go for... at the office i m on a XW6200 workstation single P4 3.0 1Gig with a nvidia quadroFX 1300...it s awesome!...but of course im on a tight budget...so wich system is the bang for the buck?wich configurations either on cpu s and graphics should i look for?
ok...
i know intel might be a step forward in cad and 3d apps...i m not realy concerned about the cad stuff....but the 3d is my major interest! and my point is (thanku DaveSimmons) if the extra buck is really worth it...
i m now leaning over AMD...i ve been reading a lot...i think i would try a A64 3200 or 3400 (winchester) with a pumped mobo, 1 or 2 Gig ram and probably a quadro....not sure dough...as i ve been told tha the $ might not be worth it...
i WAs thinkin on goin dual...but i gave up....i don t think its worth it and i rather save now an buil a render farm in a short time....(?)
another thing on my mind is the GPU concerning renderin task....im really confused here...i check out the gelato app from nvidia but i couldn t get it clearer ...is the graphic card used in rendering? can it be? how?
