S/W Development System?
I"m looking forward to some heavy coding after this final year of schooling, and since it's nearly coming to an end.. I'm browsing around comp. prices and such. Here's the deal.. I know you don't need a "killer" system for compiling and coding, but how bout for 3d rendering of models etc.
Would a faster CPU be better overall for a combination of compiling, coding and a little bit of 3d rendering, or would a faster video card be better overall?
Currently I'm looking at the P4 2.4C or the Barton 2500+ as CPU choices, for the video card I'm trending towards a Radeon 9600 PRO. For RAM, I'm not sure whether or not to get 512megs or 1gb.. Any suggestions on a "software development/rendering system"?
P.S: Budget range at maximum would be around $1400US (if I converted it properly - ~2800-3000AUS)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
