Our current work stations are between 32 - 64gb RAM and run cpu's like i7 6800k.
We are looking at buying a monster machine or maybe 2 that could be sat in the corner as constant DR machines to help smash through renders.
Firstly, is doing this the most opitmal way to help everyone in the studio render faster while working on projects. We cant upgrade everyone to dual xeons in one go, so the plan was to buy 1 or 2 that can run DR and help out.
When speccing a machine with x2 xeons, if it has 64gb ram does that mean each cpu has 64gb ram to use? or does it get split into 32gb per cpu. Never had a dual cpu machine!
Trying to spec something up roughly on Scan -
https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/shared/51d4a3dd-cd39-44c8-be15-d27b41435a16 Is this expensive for what it is? and is it specced to a standard we should look for to help improve render times in the office? I'm looking for that area where its best for money in performance, once you start reaching the best of the best its usually minimal gain but a lot more expensive.
Thanks
