Hi,
I have been going back and forth and spending hours researching online... arriving at no conclusion and being more confused than ever.
I am trying to build a system for mainly graphics usage... here are the CPU intensive things i usually do:
3D studio
Photoshop
Illustrator
MP3 Encoding
DVD-Encoding
Goldwave Wave editing
Alot of multi-tasking
So,
I first thought I should get a dual XEON system...
then after reading up, it seemed that a single Intel 660 chip would be better. (one reason being that dual-xeon mobos dont offer pci-express video cards)...
then, my reading took me toward a dual-opteron system...
then it took me to AMD Athlon 64 3800 system...
So, I was wondering if anyone could give me a suggestion for my application and see if i can finally just put this thing together already! lol
thank you in advanced for the help!!
