Hi there! I’m in need of a good 3d render box for a class in 3d max 7. The class involves reactor and crowd animations, plus big, shiny textures :), so huge amounts of power are needed and my laptop is not up to the task any more…
This is the setup I’m looking at right now:
1 x Asus NCT-D Hovedkort Xeon 800FSB, Dual E7525, DDR2, SATA /IDE, ATX , GbLAN, PCI-E (product id: 90-MSV430-G0UAY) -the only pci express card i could finde aroud in local dealers and webshops.
1 x Western Digital Raptor 74GB S-ATA 8MB cache 10000RPM
2 x Intel Pentium 4 Xeon 3.2 GHz Boxed PC800 Socket 604, 1MB cache
alt 1:
1 x PowerColor Radeon X800PRO 256MB PCI-E PCI Express, GDDR3, VIVO/DVI, Retail
4 x Crucial DDR2 PC3200 512MB CL3 REG/ECC Registered, ECC/REG,1.8V,64Meg x 72, 240 (These can be run as dual channel, one pair pr CPU, right?)
alt 2: (and I think this is the better of the two):
4 x Kingston ValueR. DDR2 PC4200 1024MB CL4 Unbuf.,1.8V,128Meg x 72, 240pin, ECC
(These can be run as dual channel, one pair pr CPU, right?)
1 x Sapphire Radeon X600PRO 256MB DDR PCI Express, VIVO/DVI-I, Lite-Retail
The ram is the thing I’m most worried about. The Video card is just a temporary one in this setup(that is, it stays in just till I can fork out cash for a better one…)
I know very little about hw, so these setups probably aren’t very good. If some of you people have better components (in the same price range, about 3200 u.s.d. ) please help me :hmm: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
