Hi, just a quick question.... Has anybody set up a renderfarm usiing HP Z400's, i have 2 with W3520 Quad processors and 2 with W3680 processors.
I am using a nas storage and an unmanaged network - OS windows 7 64bit.
I want to use it with 3DS Max 2011 and Vue 8.5 Xstream....
My main question is does it matter if i have different amounts of ram in each and different graphics cards, i have heard different things from a range of sellers saying that it is purely cpu power that will speed up render times and ram is not that important and graphics cards are even less important as the software does not currently support cuda.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as would any other pointers or common issues i may face.
Thanks in advance :-)
