talos72 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 can anyone recommend laptops or the specs for a notebook to run Houdini on? I was looking at Toshiba Satellites, but they have ATI integrated cards...I have known Houdini having issues with ATI cards. I would appreciate some input.

If you want nVidia inside, check this link: http://www.nvidia.com/page/go6800_partners.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Ayanami Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I have heard nothing but bad news about the Alienware laptops, they overheat a lot and a built of low grade components. If you have far too much money, a good Sony is good, but then its going to cost you both legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I have been using a Dell Latitude D800 with an Nvidia graphics card for over a month now and this bit of kit performs very well on both XP and linux. The Latitude laptops are geared toward professionals (bullet-proof and stable) unlike the top-of-the-line inspirons geared for gamers. The card and houdini performs nearly identically on both operating systems. -jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szymon Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Can you, laptop guys, share your experience with different notebooks here? I want to buy one for pro 3d stuff. What do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I have one of the HP zd7000 series laptops that I use when I have to. It's not too bad, the screen is nice, the graphics are fast enough for what I do, but the harddrive is very very slow. One thing that is definitely worth watching out for in laptops is the speed of the harddrive, especially if you don't max out the ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
