After looking at some used towers - can someone chime in on where the biggest render bump comes from or really, where a used sweetspot might be? It seems like processor speed is an important factor and based on bare feats, 8 cores seem to do better than 4 and obviously it needs to be 64 bit and not 32... but what about chip architecture? Nahalem, I cant seem to lock down what would be a substantial bump from my 06 3 ghz mac pro dual proc dual core but where the returns diminish. Thoughts? Thanks guys!
