Hi Everyone,

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new workstation and I thought I'd 
get some opinions on components that will play nicely with the upcoming release 
of Nuke 7.

GPU
I saw the latest demos so a good GPU is in order to take advantage of all the 
new gpu accelerated features.  What's best for nuke? Cuda? OpenGL? OpenCL?  
Lots of memory? Speed?

CPU
I'm deciding between dual 2.5ghz 6 core xeons (12 core total) and dual 3.3ghz 
4core (8 cores total).  I've seen on other threads here that since many 
operations in nuke are single threaded a faster single core performance will 
translate to better interactivity.  However I've also seen people use the 
comparison of (cores x ghz per core) to decide.  In this case its a score of 30 
for the 12 core and 26.4 for the 8 core.  Would a single threaded operation at 
2.5ghz really be THAT much slower than at 3.3ghz? Enough to justify 4 fewer 
physical cores and 8 virtual?

One thing to note is I want this system to also play nicely with Maya, Vray, 
CS6, Zbrush, and Mari.....

Thanks!
