People,

Been asked by the 3ds Max-ers here for help on setting up a “render farm” (they use mental ray, 3ds Max 2009).

I know the AutoDesk spec on 3ds Max says XP or Vista, but will it run ok on Windows Server 2003 (looking at 64bit). Reason is the server hardware is much easier (for rack mounting, etc...) and in some cases cheaper (Dell is giving the second quad for free right now) then getting workstations.

Thanks in advance :) ,
Greg C.
