Scott,
Check out this thread from a few months back. It's a little out of date, but it compares relatively recent Athlon XPs and P4s on the same Carrara render.
From the responses it looks like the Athlon XPs are pretty snappy in Carrara so they would certainly be a good choice. On the Intel side, my brother-in-law just bought a Dell 8250, P4 1066RDram memory, really fast, and almost completely quiet.
I'm actually curious if anyone who knows pokes their head in here, does the hyperthreading on the new P4s and Xeons make a difference in Carrara? Can someone render that same spooky final.car off the content CD with and without hyperthreading turned on?
Best regards,
