Next month I'll be putting together a workstation for my wife for her
graphic design and animation work.
(Found a highly rated workstation video card in our price range even.)
Now I'm wondering what OS is best: WinXP or Vista? Is Vista ready for
use with applications like Lightwave, After Effects, etc?
(We'd rather get her a Mac Pro, unfortunately the minimum cost for one
with 8GB RAM and a workstation card is $6,000!)
Thanks for any advice.
(Oh, BTW, having 8GB of RAM and a 512MB Quadro workstation, what kind
of CPU is recommended? Think we can get away with a single, moderate
speed, quad-core CPU?)
Thanks!
Liam
