Hi,

I've got some problems finding a suitable computer for Houdini 12. Right now I have a 3 year old pc with the following specs

- AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 4400+
- ATI Radeon HD 4800
- 2 GB of RAM
- Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bits
- DirectX 10

I tried H12 on this computer, but I found troubles using the new UI and with rendering. Also, the Bullet RBD solver didn't work.

In summary, I need a new system to run H12. But should I buy a whole new computer, or just renew some components in this system? And second, what component(s)/workstation would you recommend? I'm not very sure about my budget yet..

All the little help is very much appreciated!
Felix

Your computer probably meet the minimum requirement… ._.

there's lots of talks both here and www.odforce.net [odforce.net] regarding building houdini workstations.

Thanks, I'll check those websites!
