which computer is the best for working? i need your help :)

[boetus]

I´m using the sketch Up Pro version 8.0.4810 and the vray plugin.
I´m working on a mac book pro: 1 x 2 GHz intel core i7, active store 8 GB, graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6490M. and it sucks!
The render process need´s so much time (sometimes hours) and also building in sketch up with huge files is really slow.

Now i want to buy a new computer and i need same help, if my work is going to be better and faster! with it.

The computer i want to buy is: mac pro 8-core, 2 x 2,66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon „Westmere“, active store 12 GB, graphic card ATI Radeon HD 5870 1 GB.
Thank you for your help and i´m really looking forward for any details

Do you intend to use mac version of all? If so, yes your choice is good, although rather expensive and you could get much less with self-build PC.
What's important is the processor type, processor speed, and RAM. You seem to have a good type (xeon) although not fast processor (only 2,66 GHz), 12 GB of RAM is enough. You will want to have at least 3 GHz processor speed, and better yet get an "overclocked" version (i7 processor that comes with a "K").

Just my input.
