Re: help , new computer !
don't blow your savings... hehe in a few months quad core xeon CPUs will be out but if you're impatient ... vassago is right about the cpu, a 6600 or 6700 is all u need, hell you can OC a 6400 to almost the 6800's specs with just aircooling, so yeah, don't spent $1000 on a cpu. as for video cards... i guess the 7950 does… -
Re: Maya or Max?
Ah yes like mac's vs pc's. :) I've taken a similar route. I did my first serious work on lightwave actually, and I still keep some of its workflow and shortcuts in my max and maya hotkeys.
