Hi Sly,
Thanks so much for quick responds.
I had a mix of AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon previously with no problem,
but that doesn't mean it won't be a problem now.
Did you guys build your own computers for the farm or bought them off
the shelf, are they dual processor systems?
Thanks,
Leoung

Hi Leoung,
i would definetly go with Intel procs if you are ADDING on a
farm/workstation that is already Intel based.... or vice/versa
i've heard a couple of times that the same frame rendered on different
chips we're giving different results.... wich could lead into a
nightmare. I dont know how instruction sets differs and i cant help in
this atomic precision.... but go the safest way in my opinion. If you
got intel right now?...stick to it...
Here all workstations are Intel so is the farm.... and we never had
surprises between what the artist do and what the farm crunch..
dont forget to add some major RAM!!!

I am looking at adding a few more computers for rendering.
Looking for some opinions.
AMD 2x opteron 6272 for total of 32 cores
Intel 2x E5 2670 for a total of 16 cores
Thanks so much,
Leoung
