I ran the same scene through my newly built 3.2GHz P4 last night and it took 50 seconds... 9 seconds slower than your dualie - and, bear in mind, I've overclocked the P4 to 3.68Ghz. At 3.2GHz it was taking 58 seconds.Originally posted by Emo
OMG! I downloaded the test scene and did a test render just for fun and I got 41 seconds!!!that means I'm 2 seconds slower than the guy in first place!! wow.. I didnt know that!

I then ran the scene on my old 1.2GHz P4 and it took 2m46s ... almost 8x slower!!!
I love being in the FAST club!
That'll do donkey... that'll do...

I have no idea what's in the laptop, I suspect a 100Mhz bus.

As I was working to a budget, I had to decide if I was going to build a render-monster, a view-port monster, or a jack-of-all-trades. I decided to go down the viewport route as the PC can be rendering while I'm at sleep or at work (or at sleep at work). The money I saved by not buying dual processors was used to buy a Quadro4 980XGL graphics card and a second 17" flat panel.
Last night, I was doing some modeling, with lots windows open on both monitors. I also had a DVD playing a Pink Floyd concert in a window on one of the monitors - the Maya viewport was still giving me 75fps.
