Hi all,
I am looking to upgrade my hardware in the next week or two, and anticipate
running Java3d program which will be heavier on the computational side than
the rendering(collision avoidance & condition detection involving 1000+
spheres in a random environment). I have looked at the option of running
dual processors (intel and AMD), and it appears (allegedly) that gains made
by the use of dual processors can be overcome by the purchase of a single
processor running at 20% higher core bus speed. I am also shying away from
instituting SCSI as I don't 'think' performance gain from synchronous bus
would justify cost - my hard drives use different channels and I am pretty
careful where I put and run things from, hopefully avoiding asynchronous
pitfalls.
Does anyone have suggestions as to where money (approx £1000) is best spent,
given my current system.
Current system:
Dell D1226H 19" monitor (not being upgraded)
AMD Athlon 800
Gigabyte G71* motherboard, with FSB overclocked 10%
500Mbytes SDRAM PC133
2 x high-performance IDE Hard Drives
Matrox G400 AGP graphics (16Mbyte)
Pioneer DVD 115 (not being upgraded)
Memorex TwelveMAXX burnproof re-writer (not being upgraded)
Thanks for any input
Stuart
