Hello.
Here's the basics; I'm building my first computer setup and I want it to really enhance my Maya workflow (particularly render times). I'm doing a ton of research since I'm not in the know of computer hardware, but I had an idea; what if I ask people what they have and go with that?
I'm looking for a PC, Vista 64bit, QuadCore super-awesome processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HD, and a pretty good video card (not for gaming, just for Maya). Does anyone have a setup similar to this that they have tried and know it works? I don't want to run into any incompatibility problems with the motherboard or cards or RAM, as I've heard of a bunch of people having such problems.
This might seem like an odd approach, but hopefully someone out there can hlep; I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your time!
