Ultima Maya Machine !
 

Oke, I need a new PC !

At the moment I have a PII 400 with 456 MB Ram and a Geforce 3 Ti 200 (64 MB) card in it.

If you had a lot of money what kind of PC would you buy for you fancy Maya program and RAT 5.0 ?

Dual 2.4 xeons on an Intel i860 or i7500 based motherboard with as much ram as you can fit in there. If your on a budget then go with dual athlons - nearly as fast and in rare cases faster, but quite a lot cheaper.
GFX card.... one of the new wildcat cards if just for maya useage I spose..

The new wildcat 6210 if I am correct is good for maya ? :P

i'm really happy with the way my new system is running Maya although i haven't finished the upgrade yet. i have dual AMD 2000mp's, 512mb DDR 2100, WD 80 gig special (8mb cache) and a measly GeForce2 pro video card. I'll be completing my upgrade over the next few weeks to have 1.5 gigs ram, 2 WD 80gig special in Raid 0 config and because i also composite i'm looking at a really good all round card, possibly the Quadro 4 750 XGL. This isn't the greatest system in the world but it does everything i ask it to and will improve a lot more after the upgrades.

I want those Xeon's! ;)

Darkon

well Xeon's are good... :)....

But I never heard of the Quadro 4 750 XGL before, what kind of graphics card is that ?

It's made by Nvidia.....it's their professional workstation gfx card.....the GF4 etc.....are desktop gfx cards:D

yeah but is the quadro as powerfull as the wildcat card ?

It probably depends on what wildcat you're talking about. The reason i like the idea of this quadro is as well as being certified for all the major 3d apps, it's a very good all round card, even plays games well. There's not many workstation cards that can do this.

I have a workstation only for graphics stuff, so for that one I need a top notch graphics card. I have a seperate station to play games on.

I don't have a single game installed on my dualie and i dont ever intend to either :-). My point was this card is optimized for 3d apps but still doesn't suffer using other software such as compositing programs. If only it had a TV out connection it'd be the perfect card for me.

yeah... good point, TV out connection, must remember that one !

i would go with quadro 4 900XGL, theyre lovely cards, not as good as the wildcats, but still pretty darn good

but then again ....The shops would not have that kin dof card I think... so then I have to order it...... and that takes time... bummer...

lol, i no some ppl who are selling a 700 for cheap

well if I want something .. I will get it... :) even if it takes months or years, in the end I will get it, so If I want a quadro wathever card I will get it......:)

Even if is going to cost me alot of money !

lol
u can also get me one :) seeing as u dnt mind :p

how many, do you want icecream with it :)

i shall take an order of 7, with 5 cornettos please :) but make sure theyre strawberry flavoured :)

strawberry flavoured...hmmmm.... that is going to take time...... but your order has been taken.

The Ultimate Maya PC will be deliverd as soon as possible !

oh we're talking about ultimate PCs eh? i want a 35" plasma screen for a monitor :D

no problem.... do you want a butler with it ! :)

if there is someone here who wud like to serve the dark lord, yes please :)

Dark Lord of what ???? :)

erm, dark lord of coca cola :)

Well Dark Lord of Coca Cola I am Lord of Oblivion... ha...scared yet !!

damn, how come everyone is scarier than me? :(
how about an alliance? ;) we'll take out the evil lord kevin together :D hehe

How evil is Lord Kevin !

well, seeing as he is one of few ppl who has maya 4.5, i would say VERY evil :D

So you think he is an infidel ! :)

lol, i think he is blinded from the truth...that coca cola cans will one day take over the world

The I think it is time for him to decide:

The red pil: Wake up and smell the Coca Cola
The Blue pil: stay in never never land and we will show him how deep Coca Cola can bring him !

:)

lol, what is it gunna be kevin? :) u can get high on coke hehe :)
but he mite turn to the light side and join the pepsi clan, that would be harmful to our forces

I think he is thinking it over.... you do not make these decision lightly... it goes with planning and other stuff that I do not know of :)....

When he is ready to tell us he will give us a signal ! :)

well, if we interpret his silence in the wrong way, and his signal is sending a big fw0kin warhead towards my homeplanet, then we're a bit screwed :)

In Oblivion nothing can hurt us because there is nothing there ! so a warhead will do nothing ...... :) :) :)

so what are the dangers in oblivion then? apart from the fact it IS oblivion :)

that it, the danger is Oblivion it self ! :)

How about that huh !

lol :D
btw, i found the collectors edition :D and it arrived :D but i cant install it :(

:) ...sorry..... just had to laugh.....

Why ?
