I suppose that would depend on the architecture of the rig.  If it's standard x86/x64 complaint yes.  If it's something else, maybe but probably not.  Could you send up a link to details on it?

Quote - As I was browsing through some 3D Magazines in Chapters, I saw a contest where you could win  a 16-core Render PC that retailed for $2100 or something.

Would something like that work with WIndows and Carrara?
