Here is the result of rendering test. blend in Blender 2.44 on my Alienware Area 51 7500, equipped with an intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3GHz, 6GB RAM and a GTX690:



It completed the rendering in 1 min and 6 seconds, so it's just faster than the Tezro at 1 min and 7 seconds!

Here's how this machine stacks up against the various other machines I've tested thus far rendering with Blender 2.44:



Using Blender 2.79, it completed the rendering in 27 seconds! (That's a huge difference!!!???)





Here's how this machine stacks up against the various other machines I've tested thus far rendering with Blender 2.79:



There is a difference when it comes to the various versions on IRIX machines, but nowhere nearly as big of a difference!!!???

I still plan on upgrading this machine to with a QX9770 or a XEON  X5470 @ 3.33GHz (The XEON looks to be the better option actually!)
