Hi!
2 weeks ago I decided to make a little after effects scene with some 3d solid rotating and post it on cgtalk.com.
here a link to the post if you wanna run the scene and post the result:

And here a link to a graph of the result so far:

The big surprise for me was the exeptionnal performance of the AMD X2 4200+ (a 1000$ machine) outperforming Dual 2.5 G5 and being not far behind the powerful Quad G5...
I will be very happy to see more result from people at creativecow!
thanks!
