Anyone else looking at Black Friday at Dell (or other vendors) for good deals for replacing their computer for better Blender performance? http://www.black-friday.net/bf/dellhome-black-friday.html
I have a ~5 year old computer and am looking for a price/performance sweet spot and would love any recommendations. (keeping track of processors/mother boards, etc. seems much more difficult now)
Also, from what I’ve seen, I’m thinking the Cinebench at Tom’s ( http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-2010/benchmarks,112.html ) is probably the closest analog to predicting blender performance… is there a better way to go?
