<p>Neither will make any difference to rendering speed and you'll be pushed to use 12Gb RAM unless you're dealing with extremely large and complicated 3D models.</p>
<p>Ideally, use a graphics card that is recommended with your software such as nVidia Quadro for AutoCAD, though it's not strictly necessary.</p>

<p>Another question :</p>
<p></p>
<p>Would you go for 12 GB RAM with a 2GB Video Card or</p>
<p>24 GB RAM with a Dual DVI 256MB Graphic Card ?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Again, we're talking CAD/NxT/Pshop & Indesign.</p>
<p></p>

<p>Basically I use a very crude but effective method for determining the fastest machine for rendering: multiply the number of cores by the clock speed.</p>
<p>So 8 cores running at 1.6GHz would be roughly equal to 4 cores running at 3.2GHz.</p>
<p>It's not strictly true, but it does give a good indication.</p>

<p>With rendering, the two main factors are number of cores and speed of processors.</p>
<p>4 cores running at 3.0GHz will render roughly twice as fast as 2 cores running at 3.0GHz.</p>
<p>So if your 6 core option runs at the same frequency as your 4 core option, renders will run 1.5 times faster.</p>
<p>RAM is only used for storing the CAD file in memory. It does not affect the rendering speed.</p>
