Thanx - I feel so underpowered..... but with the economy it will be a while b4 I get new equipment.
Any ideas on my remote situation?
I know what you mean. I usually don't have the best luck at anything, but the rig I built at the right time (for once!). I simply don't have the funds to do it now.
Anyway, back to your ec2 deal. I grew rather curious after you guys started working with it, but for that bottom tier free server, I'm not seeing any great numbers to justify the use, being brutally honest. Unless you're running like 20 of those top servers, I can match or beat the performance at home. My thoughts, if you can get your warhorse to 20k/s without much effort, it just seems more efficent that way.
Now if I was doing an animation, that would certainly change my thinking.
I've probably beat this horse to death, but I'm really waiting for the Lux hybrid mode to go hardcore. 384 GPU cores plus 6 cpu and using all the system memory would make me one happy camper! (J, are you reading this? =D)
