Carrara runs very fast either on nvidia geforce4 of geforceFX cards
or cards with ATI RADEON 9600, 9700, 9800.
ATI chips used to have troubles with carrara, but latest version of
carrara seem to fix them. I have mobility radeon9000 on my laptop
and it's really fast. I cracked and installed drivers for
professional applications (FireGL drivers). You can crack either
nvidia or radeon cards to run with professional opengl drivers. You
will loose some speed in games and in synthetic benchmarks, but
content creation apps will run faster. Just google for softfiregl or
softquadro... i think utility comes with rivatuner...
either will do the trick, nvidia cards may be bit safer bet with
carrara and amapi. The opengl seems the be more robust in nvidia.
If i were you, i'd propably get nvidia fx with 256mb. If you don't
already have video-editing card or have need for analog video
in/out, you might want to take look at cards that provide you with
analog video in/out. I think ASUS have some such combo cards.
My dream machine would include
2x opteron 248 processors (they scale better in multi-processor than
xeon and are faster in photoshop)
tyan tiger m/b
fastest nvidia card
serial ata raid
dvd+/-r/rw drive
decent sound card
firewire
and of course win xp pro
