I'm looking at making a render node with the new xeon quad core chips, I'm just not sure if I should go with a 1.60GHZ chip or the more expensive 2.33GHZ and will it make much of a difference for rendering time in VRAY and MAX?
I'm looking to use the below server chips and as you can see there's a huge difference in price and I'm not that it will make much of a difference in render times. Any experts out there that can help
· Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor E5345 2.33GHz 1333MHz 8MB 80W - $851
· Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor E5320 1.86GHz 1066MHz 8MB 80W - $690
· Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor E5310 1.60GHz 1066MHz 8MB 80W - $455
