Re: Best upgrade to increase render speed?
by Brian Smith on May 21, 2008 at 5:24:48 pm

For what it's worth, I actually had the same query back in January. I have a 2.5GHz G5 PPC I used at home. I got an Intel 3.0 GHz Dual-Quad MacPro at work, and it is exponentially faster. I did a test when I first got it. I set up a very detailed scene a variety of the more processor intensive modules and rendered it at home and then brought it to work and tried it here. The G5 at home took roughly 3 hours, and my 8-Core at work did it in about 13 minutes. It was just a still, not an animation. I have 4GB of RAM at home and 6GB at work. (For some reason, my boss doesn't believe me I need more.)

That's my two cents from personal experience.
