I'm thinking about buying a new Mac Pro for home, and one goal I have is to get some hardware that will really enhance Firefly's rendering capability. I'm wondering how the different processors Apple offers will differ for this - Poser 7 can utilize multiple processors, right? So should I stick with 2 dual-cores, or would 2 quad-cores make enough of a difference to blow my skirt up? Would Poser even utilize that much power, now or ever? And do you think that the 2.6 GHZ is much different than the 3.0 GHZ?
If not Poser, then what other render engines or 3D software would utilize super-processor-power? And how do video cards affect previewing; would I be happy with a super video card as well?
Sorry for the multitude of questions. I'm still learning about Poser's benefits and drawbacks.
