Hi,

Definitely worth looking at dual core. Although P6 is only single threaded, the OS and other tasks could be busy on another core leaving practically a whole CPU core to your rendering. The sweet spot for (dual core) performance per price is probably the AMD 4400+ X2.

Hope you don't mind but I just wanted to chip in and ask svdl a couple of questions.

svdl:

Is the kit that you mention above what you use for your Vue 5 Infinite renders?

I am contemplating getting Vue 5 Esprit as a renderer for my P5 / P6 scenes. Do you actually use all the features of Vue 5 Infinite in your renders or would the lesser Esprit version be capable of the same stuff? What sort of render times are you looking at for your renders? Do you make one scene with all your figures and import to vue or can you make multiple scenes and import separately.

Thankyou very much for any info you can give.

Kind regards,

Jovial.
