You can install 64bit windows, or even Linux on a MAC via bootcamp... But finding good drivers is tough and Apple will not give support.<br><br>DualQuad Intel Machines ROCK!!!! Minimum 5 times faster then my 1 year old dualdual AMD when rendering. I&#39;ve scene renders up to 20 times faster. It&#39;s incredible.. But watch out with video cards. Quadro 4600 are not yet certified and act a little funny in XSI, however Quadro 4500 is great.
<br><br>The rub is they are really loud and hot, especially when rendering.<br><span><br>V-<br><br></span><div><span><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/23/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Joe Laffey</b> &lt;

<br><br>&gt; Hi all,<br>&gt;
<br>&gt; A Quick question regarding choice of workstations to do 3D, mainly using XSI<br>&gt; - what sort of specs does one recommend - Dual Quad Core Intel Xeon based<br>&gt; machines, Dual cores???? And given the choice how would you guys rate the Mac
<br>&gt; Pro machines, given that they run Mac OS, Linux, Windows etc.... against a<br>&gt; similar specced home assembled job??<br><br>The biggest drawback to the Mac hardware is that no 64 bit version of<br>Windows is currently supported by Boot Camp. So you cannot run Win64,
<br>which, to me, is a deal breaker, as once you go 64bit you will never, ever<br>want a stinkin&#39; 32bit OS again.<br><br>--<br>Joe Laffey&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Visual Effects for Film and Video<br>LAFFEY Computer Imaging&nbsp;&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; -------------------------------------
