wheeewhooo…
we just got 3 4200 x2 1g ram joining our small farm(more like a garden..)
and for those of you who still don’t know if to go with x2 or not…
same scene render on a 3.4 intel with 2 g ram at 8.07 mins.
on the new x2 - 4.40 mins and btw those computers cost the same…
that is the best value /render power you can get,

What’s the rest of the system specs (MB, RAM, HD, etc)?
80g hd, 1g ram, shitty video card ,and a8n asus mobo.
the intel one is around the same settings only with 2g ram
joining our small farm(more like a garden..)
So, great result man!
Now that is impressive! Same price half the time to render (almost). Wow! Next machine I get will be X2 no doubts! 
X2’s are the best thing to come on the market for rendering, with the exception of vray, of course.
I just joined the family this weekend
$279 for 3800 and a MB at Fry’s! 8)
Much better workstation for the living room, about 1 million decibels less then the Xeon it’s replacing, now the xeon is in the basement as a DR slave where it belongs.
