[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1479645, member: 24160"] Will make several "assumptions" You're using an app that is available for Windows or OS X. You're comparing the X5675 and the E5-2687W. This is purely a business machine. Either one of them will blow the doors off your 7 year old MP. The latter scores almost double the former in the [URL="http://novabench.com/cpuchart.php?a=1"]NovaBench[/URL] test. [URL="http://www.maxwellrender.com/index.php/benchwell"]Maxwell Render[/URL] has it rendering in 2/3 the time. When you're talking $6500-$7500 before RAM/video card you want, $1k extra seems to me to be a no brainer here if it can truly cut your render times by a third. "Assuming" your software can make use of all those cores. If this machine is mixing as personal use - that's going to make it harder if you prefer OS X over Windows. [/QUOTE]
