Hi people,
I am building a new modeling computer and am going crazy weither i should get a dual opteron or dual xeon system. My budget is about $350 per cpu so it looks like it'd would be between a AMD Operon 244 or a Intel Xeon 3.0G 800FSB based on the Nocona core.
My other concern is what would be best for the future of 64-bit computing and what would benefit most when maya is released in 64-bit form running on windows XP 64-bit version. Is Intel's EMT64 really 64 bit computing? it seem AMD64 is in the Opterons is. but am still confused about Intels EMT64.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. This is for Maya 6.
Thanks
