Workstations For Poor 3D-artists

Maybe you already have an Athlon Thunderbird/XP and you are wondering if a dual Thunderbird/Athlon XP workstation might make sense for you. Or you might be interested in an affordable dual Athlon MP 1800+ workstation.' Included are benchmarks based on almost all available 3D-animation packages."

    YEah and in my opinion AMD systems tend to be unstable. They crash every day or so. People just put this down to windows, but in fact I find that the amd systems I've seen lock up considerably more often than the intel systems I've seen. Probably just down to insufficient cooling on the chips or something, but I'd rather hava reliable system than save a tiny amount of money.

    These days, P4s are faster than athlons anyway. AMD are losing the megahertz battle
