Hello Maya People!
I want to buy a new computer to run maya and I went to the alias site to see the graphics cards they reccommend and I like the dell workstation 670 with a 256MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX 3400, but it is expensive!
A 128MB PCIe x16 ATI FireGL V3100 would also work with Maya for a $1000 less. Do you guys think the Quadro is worth the extra money?

The priciest components seem to be Processor, RAM, and graphics card, how would you order the importance of these? Does a dual processor really make big difference?

Thank you so much!
Debra
