I agree, and if you have a little cash on hand, make sure that the external
CPU
cache on your mother board has been maxed out. My roommate boosted his
external cache and saw an immediate 30% increase in rendering/modeling
speed. ( We performed benchmarks before and after putting the new chips in.)
Cache RAM is WELL worth the cost.
