 OK. Once again i'm loking at a new computer L And this time I've more or less settled on one...

BUT.. Well there's not just one, there's two. All other specs are the same but they come with two different processors...

One is an intel i7 860, 2.8gHz, the other one is an i5 650, 3.2gHz.

So one is a dual core but faster, the other is a quad core but slower. Which is best? I'd guess the quad core, but.. I'm not sure :)

i7 860, 2.8ghz

i7 860 has turbo mode that runs at 3.33GHz when only 2 cores are active.**

 As a follow-up on this..

WHOOOOA I have died and gone to heaven! Loading large scenes is ZAP! Rendering is ZAPZAP!

This makes Poser fun again L

The specs of my new bestest friend, Mr. Fujitsu:

intel i7 860, Win 7 Home 64 bit. 8Gb Ram (WEE!), ATI Radeon HD5600 (I wasn't sure about this, but apparently Poser likes it just fine)

The worst thing about getting a new computer is reinstalling all your stuff again >_< BUT with a little luck I can move the harddisks from the previous computer and put them in here..

Gratz, a quad-core makes a huge difference in rendering. :)

Hey, Trekkie, and everyone....

I've been saving my pennies, too, and am almost ready to:

1. Buy / build a completely new system to be used as a graphics workstation only  - no Word, no games, no Family Tree Maker, no miscellaneous software. Just graphics.... Poser 8, Photoshop, Bryce, etc.

2. Rebuild this Q6600 system with a new HD, better video card, heftier PS, more RAM, and W-7 64 bit, and just buy a new system for all the miscellaneous junk. Then just use this one as a graphics workstation as per above.

3. Move to Tibet.

Since internet access in Tibet probably sucks, I'll most likely opt for 1 or 2. Bearing this in mind, I'd like to get a feel for what all you folks are using for your Poser systems  - processors, video cards, etc. Looks like Trekkie got some good results with hers!

I may have asked something similar many months ago, but frankly, I can't remember for sure. Besides, I'm too bloody lazy to dig through 489,818,845 posts looking for it....

Thanks, and have a great weekend!
Rod
