5 machines umm I read some features for Vue it does not support AMD Opteron? Tyan sells 4 sockets mobo for $1500. A note left in Vue features that it is optimized for HyperTechnology, Xeon have HT and may have multiple sockets on a mobo. I wonders if VUE license applies to per socket CPU? If not then I would have 10 to 40 CPUs to do the animation project with single VUE license on approx $4500 per machine ($22,500 total).
