Hello all the people in the comunity, i have a bit of a problem here that i'm sincerely need an honest opinion from all of you and very appriciated for all the answer.
I'm planning on setting up a new PC, and i'm going to do many rendering for video(well not so many). So i'm considering 2 option of CPU for the PC. P4 3 Ghz with intel 875P or 865 (still confuse about both chipset too) or XEON 2.4 or 2.6 Ghz Dual Processor. I'm a little bit confuse because the price for the both set are almost the same but as you all know P4 is the latest and the Xeon been there for quite a long time. You all know too that in the matter of price P4 is not stable( i mean: it can drop hard for just a couple of months). But P4 technology is the latest with HT & PAT bla bla bla something (isn't that XEON HT technology too, or is it different than P4). So that is some consideration that make me confused. Hope all of you good guys in the community can give me shed of light on this and i greatly appreciate it
