Tell me info about your machine/s. And how fast is Maxwell for reaching 20 samples level for example or for 24 hours render time? It will be good info for thouse who want to buy new machine.

Mine is
cpu Amd Duron 900 MHz(4.75X200)
mainboard ASRock K7S8X
chipset SIS 746FX
RAM 256 DDR
Windows XP
Geforce Fx 5200
For indoor 2 [24h 37m 50s] sampling level 20. For outdoor don't know yet. :twisted:

My machine is one I built myself about 2.5 years ago with some minor upgrades since its initial construction.

I have an aging laptop that still is useful for rendering modest scenes with Maxwell Render.

Heh.. i guess you all already know what i'm using :) not the most optimal computer for heavy 3d computer graphics work, but it does more than you can think it does! it's all a matter of willpower and determination, and a hell of a lot of patience.

Which makes me kinda annoyed to see people complaining about their "slow" P4 or even dual cpu PC's with just 1-2GB ram. Pffft, i'm sitting with 512mb where 256mb of that is taken by XP to just keep it running. That.. is a true challenge to work with in a creative way.

Wow 10x. I am still trying to get more money for upgrade. Also want a laptop but do you tell me which are good and labtop penttium M 1.5? Whats the price of this? The ram will be changed. For video i have do get more money but wildcat is my very favourite. About cpu is it better to get one p4 2.8 or to get more with low stamp like MSI K7D Master 2х Мobile Athlon 2600+ and to get 2 or three like this.
