Well I've just received a whole mess of junk for my computer, time to replace the dusty P4 and DDR1. Haven't received my core 2 duo Wolfdale yet, been "delayed". Anyone care to hazard a guess at what kind of improvements I'll get from my old system to my new one? My old system was actually really fast, no render took under 20 hours, might have been because I cancelled any that took longer than that
, well I have things to do and no other core to do other things with.
Old system:
Pentium 4 prescott 2.93Ghz
1.5GB PC3200 DDR Ram
really rubbish SIS661FX mobo, that's the northbridge, impossible to get the mobo model.
Geforce 7600GT 512MB AGP
etc etc
New system, woo:
Core 2 Duo Wolfdale 3.0GHz
2GB PC2 7200 DDR2 Ram
ASRock 1600P35-Wifi+
Geforce 8600GTS 256 MB PCI-E
etc etc.
Running Vista and XP dual boot on both systems.
Oh yeah and I'm buying deep once my bank balance has recouperated.
---Edit----
Buying Deep + Animation, really want the motion blur
