Rob, other items inside the box will effect a graphics designers performance the main being 1: ram [volume + type (ddr will outperform sd, ddr pc2700 will outperform pc2100 etc)] 2: video card (plus it plays warcraft better) 3: processing 4: hdd - (the new 8mb cached hdd's go gooooooood)
when i dropped my ram from 780mb back to 512mb it slowed the machine in certain actions by 20% when working with files over 30Mb (i suppose it gives me time to make coffee) if you get into video rendering thats when processing power becomes a greater issue - if thats the case buy a mac (cough) Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob McLennan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CFAussie Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [cfaussie] Re: OT: Pentium 4 2GHz vs AMD Athlon XP2100 for running CF | Thanks Guys, | | No intel rep here just a tech recommending a home system for a graphic | designer. | | Obviously comes down to preferences. | | Rob | | | -----Original Message----- | From: James Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: CFAussie Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Date: Friday, March 07, 2003 4:14 PM | Subject: [cfaussie] Re: OT: Pentium 4 2GHz vs AMD Athlon XP2100 for running | CF | | | >SHOOOOOSH!!!!
