Because I can 'just' about do a render and one other thing now on my AMD64 system..but all too frequently I find that my system freezes and hangs when the render becomes rather higher in polygons and I can no longer surf the web..
See I'm thinking of upgrading next year(when I'm due a largish lump sum) and I don't have a zinglebarb to build me a system..So I want to know if those in the 3D graphics world are right in wanting a dual core system?
What should the advert really be telling me?  |
I think you need to let someone who has a Core2 try a render. I can render Teragen on full settings (for the free version) quite comfortably and still have an entire core spare...
Is Bryce mutlithreaded? That's where the big advantage will come with a Dual, or Quad core CPU.
