If you can swing it, a dual motherboard with a single proc right now may be a better way to go. Check the Autodesk site for recommendations on system requirements.
now I was just showing off the picture of the quad processor... I wasn't even considering going multi processing

we do need our own computers though

our school refuses to giv our team admin access to the computer so getting the software on them is a pain in itself, not to mention the computers are a generation or two behind

obvisously if the grant doesn't come through and I'm working with just the team's general money I will tone the computer down.. mist likely go down to 1 gig of ram and a less expensive vid card... I guess its just fun sometimes to surf newegg and build a dream machine
