Hi, I am a Mac User.
I unluckily think I have to get a p.c..
I am absolutely and fully happy with OSX. I use pc's at school and I am absolutely completely frustrated by them and their OS. Crap!
But, some things are as they are. I do 3D development in Maya at the moment, and Maya for Mac is quite embarrassing. Bugs, no-features, no optimisation.
I need a workstation for Maya 3D development, photoshop textures that's all.
I'll have no internet, I don't want it, I won't use any other app. I'll zip all of the microsoft crap like explorer, outlook and others so they don't even are on the hard drive. I'll use macs for all those things.
Which is the best configuration for Maya thing?
Of course dual processor, I've read that xeons are preferred for this type of usage.
It has to be light fast for renderings.
So which processor?
chipset?
motherboard?
video card?
I have a raptor as boot drive so sata, want firewire 800 working properly built in the motherboard, ethernet 10/100/1000, 2 GB ram i think ddr is enough ddr2 just doesn't perform better, but want room for more ram till 8GB or something.
also cooling system since I am used to G5 and they are silent, very silent if temperature is 25 celsius and less. no noise computers since they are always turned on and running where I sleep.
(at school they have some amd 2.2ghz 64 bit and they are aircrafts, impossible, not for me)
thank you guys for your help on this topic.
