A friend has an old windows server, dual xeon 2.4Ghz with 1gb ram...
HP Xeon proliant 370 or something like that.
I've been meaning to buy a new computer to render videos for a while now, and I'd get this for a 'nice' price. Not cheap... But I was wondering whether I should buy this (and I'd have to buy a monitor for it), to render movies.. or just buy a new P4, celeron or something for the same price.
Also, will adding say 4gb of ram increase the rendering performance, or will 1gb be just fine? I want to render .wmv's..and currently I only have 2 computers, and 1 is needed for photoshop etc, and the other is a laptop.. both are rendering at obnoxiously slow rate.
Is the xeon even suitable for rendering, or anything? I have 0-knowledge on 2 processor shit... help.
