remember vienna finger cookies? lunch truck had em. 4 lil vienna fingers.
goin through the Hp store customize options again. is there much of a performance difference between 3.6 and 4.0 Ghz?
these are the graphic options to choose from
iz been a whole week since i did my tax return, no moola yet. burning a hole in my pocket, chicken before the egg, have eggs been laid yet
..reminds me, have to clean the lent trap in the dryer.
feeling alone in the thread today. are the e-bots going out?
had another browse in the daz store.
i think MyLibrary content is actually a wrap.
the last outfit for g2m didn't have a manual d/l option, so i didn't buy it.
won't have to worry about re-backing up mylib.
...for CPU rendering, the higher the speed, the better. Just make sure that it isn't an "overclocked" rating.
I'd definitely go for the 500w PSU. If you can swing it, I'd also opt for the Nvidia GTX 745 even though you are not doing GPU rendering. When working on big scenes (like using a Howie Farkes' set), moving the camera and trasnitioning figures/props can get really sluggish.
What Intel's integrated graphics does is swap from your physical memory to drive your display while a dedicated card uses it's own memory.
The GTX745 also supports OpenGL 4.4 (which is the language used to drive the viewport display in "working mode") as well as HD resolution and BlueRay (important if you also want to watch films on your system).
the Sony vegas video editor has minimum gpu requirements. another 100 bucks. >.< for the 745
dont understand why the radeon is so much more. is only 2gb
...more stream processors, 1,024 vs 384 CUDA Cores (for the 745) and it supports DirectX12 which is more useful for the next geeneration fo games than 3D rendering. It is actually comparable to Nvidia's 2 GB GTX 960.
However aagain, as Carrara's render engine is CPU based, the number of cores/stream processors is a non factor. Furthermore, If you ever decided to play around with Iray somewhere down the road, the Radeon GPU will be of no use whereas the GTX745 would give you enough memory for rendering moderately sized (poly and texture load) scenes in GPU mode.
I do not want to eat dinner before five pm. I am waiting for a better time to eat.
Before 5pm it is Teatime dinnertime is usually 6:30 earliest sometimes not till 7pm or even later.
Morning. Endless lines of traffic stretching in all directions like so many shiny slow moving sweat beads trickling toward a distant sea :)
Bad wireless connect complaint :)
terrabyte drive shipped
hope snow doesnt mess delivery. got my libraries just the way i want em, if i had a crash now, seriously see a 52yo woman cry

watchin transformers. at the part he needs a credit card to call the pentagon
tryin to focus on how they heightenting suspense, special effects and background music, is a heavy bassline.they cllin awac to the killbox.
killbox real military jargon?
Hands dance while it rains gummy worms.
Goodnight gummy worms
I'm alive! Don't worry about me. I let my platinum club membership expire because my prepaid-debit card expired. I can't afford to pay for the Platinum Club either. I'll rejoin the PC as soon as I can. I really should work on my renders too.
I have two 1 TB drives and one 500 GB drive, internal. I have one external 2 TB drive that I use mostly for backup of important things. If you don't do too much, one should be fine.

I've been wondering.
I had to let my PC+ membership go, too.

My roommate is complaining and I cannot sleep.
...good to see you back.
...The Complaining About My Roomate's Complaining Complaint Thread.
Hi there. It's really good to see you pop up again. I too have been wondering what happened to you.

let mi pc go too. waiting for carrara content to be offered in pc
federtal tax return moola came in, no state moola yet.
lol my first guess it was tickertape parade confetti
well easy come easy go, just ordered http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LX7LUU8/ ;
it's i5, but 12gb / 2tb at that price, whiskey tango hotel

already feeling buyer's guilt.
lol haven't even learned cloth and hair in rrara yet. shipping 5 - 8 days, gives me the weekend to learn.
manatees are ADORABLE!!!

Morning. Breaking day broke the cloud cover as welltoday, blue sky peeking through all over and shirtsleeves warm for another perfect Melbourne summer day :)
...personally I would have waited for the state return, saved up a bit, shopped around a little more, and got something better particularly considering that you are looking to do animation.
My system has only 12 GB with a dedicated Nvidia GPU (1 GB) and when working in Carrara or Daz on a large scene (like one of the Howie Farkes sets or Stonemason's Urban Sprawl 2). Camera moves, posing, and positioning props becomes very sluggish. My experience with just the Intel integrated graphics on my old system was worse. Again keep in mind, the Intel graphics will use some of your system's remaining 11 GB (as Windows and system processes take up about 1 GB) of physical memory to drive the video display which will not be available for other tasks such as rendering. Even with a dedicated GPU to run the displays, my system often goes into "swap mode" (using the the "virtual memory" partition on the HDD) when rendering a large scene which is extremely slow.
With Win 7 Home (which I have as well) if you find a need to upgrade memory down the road, you are limited to a maximum of only 16 GB. With only the 12 GB of memory my system has, I won't even consider animation work as just rendering a fairly simple 5 frame motion blur in Daz took sixteen and a half hours.
Finally, I checked the spces on the i5-4460 and it is a straight quad core (similar to the old "Core 2 Quad "CPUs of a decade ago), as it has no hyperthreading like the i7 offers. The more CPU threads the better for CPU based rendering. The HP model you were originally looking at with the 6 core i7 has 12 CPU processing threads, and the 8 core option, 16 threads. As you know from rendering in Carrara, each tile in the rendering window corresponds to an individual CPU processing "core" or thread.
When I was designing my system I originally was looking at a "fast" Core 2 quad (LGA 775) or AMD quad and DDR2 memory to save money. This was at the time the first i7 CPUs and DDR3 sticks were being rolled out. A number of people advised me to consider going with the newer tech and look at getting one of the "new" Fermi Nvida 1GB GPUs (even though it meant having to save up a bit more) as I was told I'd just be wasting my money on what would become "dead end" tech in about another year. Looking back, I am glad I took their advice.
