boring hardware show of hands 2004-05-13 - By Kris Rivel

I know this sounds silly but has anyone encountered any differences in
renders when mixing Intel P3/P4/Xeon and AMD 64 bit processors? I can't
imagine a farm that has a mixture of both types of CPUs will yield frames
with any shifts in pixels/samples, whatever. Just wanted to make sure
before taking the plunge. Thanks.
