What is your computer setup / specs?

[pneuwanda]

Hey all, I was just thinking of the different systems out there for 3D modeling and rendering. What are you guys using? What would your *dream* machine be?

I am unfortunately running on the following:

Dell 600M (Notebook)
Pentium M 1.7 Gig
1.2 Gig RAM
60GB HD
19" LCD external monitor (work) 14" built-in (Home modeling)
64MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9000

As for the dream machine hmm..
You guys tell me!

[Flexdude]

Well im running a:

2GHZ P4
512MB RAM
64MB GeForce 4 MX460
80GB HDD
19" CRT monitor

Now as for what i would want

3.4GHz P4 (800FSB)
4GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9800XT 256MB DDR
120GB HDD (being modest on the HDD)
21" TFT Monitor

[SuB-ZeuZ]

I'm using this now:

Dual Intel Xeon 2,66ghz
2048mb DDR 266 @ dual channel
GF4 TI4800SE
200 & 80gb HDD
17" TFT

And my dream machine would be:

Dual or Quad AMD Opteron
4gb or more RAM
3DLabs Wildcat GFX card
1 Terabyte of hDD space
Dual 21" TFT

[Micke]

AMD XP 2800+
512bm DDR 333mhz
GeForce4 MX420 64MB
2x120GB HDD
1x30GB HDD
19"

Dreammachine::

Silicon Graphics Octane2
Dual MIPS 64-bit R14000ATM
8GB SDRAM
10TB SCSI RAID System

I have no idea what I'm using! :lol:

I seem to use three computers simultaneously for modeling, rendering and post-Photoshopping.

The use of different screens (VGA and TFT) enables me to check if renderings look good universally - TFT is so bright, that the same pic on VGA can be hardly visable.

Dream-machine:

In-house Rapid Prototyping machines for milling out 1:1 cars and compontents! :twisted:
