Hey guys, I was wondering what type of configuration you guys use whenever rendering normal maps or Ambient Occlusion at the company or at home for the contractors.

Thanks in advance

Q9450 OC to 3.2ghz, I normally just do low quality unless its going to be presented.

Usually just try to keep AO samples as low as possible, since cranking that up is a nightmare.

Try to keep everything as low as possible to be honest /shrug depends on the project I guess.

right, i kinda know that, I am just curious comparing other peoples PC with the one I have at work.

at work - dual core, 3gigs, windows xp, 9800gt, one monitor

at home - quad 2 core, 8gigs, windows vista 64 bits, gf260

Comp at home is way better than the comp I had before at work but that's a given.

I'm using an i5, 8gb ram (blazing quick dominators), win7 64bit and an xfx 4890.
