I need to upgrade my mom's work computer. She uses lots of AutoCAD/Revit, but her current rig doesn't render shit... of course.
AMD Athlon X2 7850. 4GB RAM. GeForce 6600GT. 500GB HD.
I'll replace it all, but wanted to know if it's reasonable to go with a Phenom II X6 build instead of Core i7. I read somewhere that it's all about cores when it comes to these kind of programs, and Phenoms are a lot cheaper around here than Intel offerings, and with more cores.
