This might be kind of a stupid question, but, when I'm research systems (I
want a new system in the near future), how would I look for this?
My main "thing" is modeling/graphics, IOW I'm *not* looking for a "game
machine", I'm looking for a modeling/graphics machine.
Roman mentioned the NVidia 8600 (I've been pleased with my current, i.e.
old, NVidia GeForce2), or at least, the 6000 and 8000 series NVidias.
But, are you talking about something similar to "dual CPUs"? Sorry but
I've never heard of "multikernal" or "cell" processors, so I don't
understand exactly what is meant here, or how to go abut getting one (or
finding out *when* I can get one). I had been looking into the 64-bit
things but given the info here, I don't want top jump into somehthing that
will cost as much yet be inferior (meaning, not do what I want it to do).
So, to look for "multikernel/multicell" processors in, for example,
tomshardare.com, is that what I type, i.e. "multikernel processor"?
If you or anyone can offer any online references, I'd really sppreciate
that, because this is totally new to me.
TIA =:-) !
