Which is the better route when building a render farm??More computers with less cpu power or less computers with more cpu power.Example...10 1 gig cpu computers or 5 2 gig cpu computers.Ive seen on ebay you can get like 900 mhz computers as low as $50-60...So picking up a couple here then a couple more later on you can get a good 10 or so computers for cheap..I thinks I read somewhere it was better to go with more computers with less cpu power then less computers with more cpu power..but not sure where I read that or even If it was correct..
