I'm trying to cpompare a new amd 64 system to my older p4 system, to decide if it stays or goes. The new system uses shared ram, and has a faster mobo, but the amd64 is cloked slower then my old pent 4 (kinda of odd, unless amd64s perform faster with a slower clockspeed then pent 4s. the old pent 4 system is clocked at 2.6, and the amd 64 is clocked at 2.2. anyone have experience with comparing these? also any way to display actual render times so I can fairly compare them? opengl display is faster (new pci express graphics card), but I'm wondering about render horsepower, plus lightwave is adding a 64 bit version any day now, so that will speed developement.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
