svdl: Prices: Athlon64x2 4400 should cost about $500, the 4800 about $900. Pentium 4 D series: 2.80 Ghz at about $250, 3 Ghz at about $350, 3.2 Ghz at about $600. Looks like Intel is undercutting AMDs pricing. Usually it's the other way around. >>> Sure wish there were somone with those Intel chips to do a benchmark Poser trial. It "seems" they would do well, but it's only in the field trial with specific Poser environment that will tell the tale. I second the fact that the larger L2 is best for Poser. If another round of benchmarking ensues, there should be a new file to accompany Jim's current one, something with standared Poser6 models and features, like AO on materials and IBL lighting. ::::: Opera :::::
