Hi, I'm about to renew my hardware, have you some advices on the new cpu I should buy to have the best results with LW ? Are Amd 64 cpus the right choice ? And...
I would seriously have to disagree with this. They have an excellent user forum just like LW where one can find an answer just as fast as here. Also, I think...

Going quad core might satisfy your urge to have the latest toy, but since Lightwave doesn't really take advantage of multiple processors, you might be better...
... Last time I rendered with LW I was able to get it to render scenes on multi-core systems with each frame on a different core. The advantage is that you...

Lightwave WILL use those cores..........up to 16 if I'm not mistaken. Go for QUAD! The new FPrime will use them as well. ________________________________ From:...
Oh, sure, you can _render_ on unlimited cores if you've got them, but as a workstation you won't see the full value of the extra CPUs when you're working on...
... Thanks. I realize now that I should have spent a little more time calculating how many frames I should have used. The model ended up being too short. I'm...
i wanted to buy a quad core a week ago and decidet it was a huge waste of money, the realityy is that a quad core processor is far LESS then two times faster...
Ok Thanks for all your replies :) I'm not rich enough to pay me a quad cores cpu, and since I really need a workstation, dual core will be my choice. Now, what...

The Conroe (AKA core2 duo) chips seem to do pretty well from all the specs I've seen. Check them out, they're cheaper than Xeons and go into cheaper mobos...
You can easily get a Duo Core X64 from AMD at a lower price at the same performance if not better. I am using an AMD2 mobo by FoxConn cause they have a 1394b...
