While we're on this subject Martin, I would like to know if you have any
thoughts on this. I am trying to decide whether it will be best to get a
second dual when Max ships. Do you think it would be better to throw another
10 grand at a second system, or throw that same money at more RAM and an
accelerator card for the existing one. I guess the 10K is a bit large, seeing
how I won't need most of the stuff I have on this one just for a render
server. But, to go to from 128 to 512MB RAM, with an accelerator card, could
get up there close to that. What would you do in this situation? Not having
the experience most of you guys have in this business, I spend a lot of time
"test" rendering. I have to trial and error a LOT. So the dead time spent
waiting for renders is pretty severe for me. Anyway, I would greatly
appreciate any thoughts you have along these lines.
