WOO HOO ! Now that the quad core is "officially" released : http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/11/02/kentsfield_released/
Its time to start thinking about an upgrade path. While I'm tickled pink about the prospect of a quad core machine (and ultimately render farm) the reality bandwagon kicks in and raises a few issues:
I'm lead to believe that Win XP does not handle over 2 cpus so what OS does one goto ? (Knowing full well that Any flavour of linux does not support Autocad, Microstation nor revit CAD software) thus limiting it to windows. I'm told Windows 2003 server supports quads ? What about the (shudder) new flavours of Vista ? Do any of these support quad cpus ?
From a RS perspective - whats the most optimal quad / platform choice ? (ie is 64 bit windows worth considering ?)
Thanks ! Bernie VRgrafix.com.au
