drifterlee, the processor determines how fast the render will be, the quantity of ram detemines how complex the scene can be..

Vishw - I reccomend you look at the intel site for a full comparison of the two processors

http://www.intel.com/en_uk/consumer/products/processors/corei7-specs.htm

And also visit some sites like toms hardware

seems that theres not much in the difference between dual/triple channel (i would still go for triple if i could afford it though - but thats just me, and probably explains why I cant afford it... :D)

Im afraid im still not a user of those processors or triple ram though, so im probably not that much help :)
