Re: Mac G4 render farm
I did a little New Egg browsing and noticed that one could build a system with an AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 1 gig of ram, an Geforce 7300LE 128MB for ~$340. I wonder if 10 would outperform those 36 G4s? (Note: the $340 dollar figure is in fact $341.95, this doesn't include an OS, or a CD/DVD drive, the assumption being that one could borrow a CD drive from another computer to do software installs)
