I have been using a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz, and and AMD 2.1 Ghz since now, but now I would like to shift in to the latest that technology can offer me. Can any one let me know of a suitible configeration required to run heavy multimedia Applications like Poser, Maya, and 3D's Max?
I have a 17" VGA Display, 250 GB SATA II Hard disk, Asus DVD-DL/RW drive, Key B and Mouse.........
Any good configerations anyone can recomand, for a Processor, Main Board, Ram, VGA Cards, SMPSU, Casings.......???? I have a tight budget around 500$ approx
What is the main advantage in opting for a AMD or Intel Solution? Does AMD tend to get hot after heavy use?

Minimum requirment:
Hardware:
At a minimum, 3ds Max 2008 32-bit software requires a system with:
Intel® Pentium® IV or AMD Athlon® XP or higher processor
512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended)
500 MB swap space (2 GB recommended)
Hardware-accelerated OpenGL and Direct3D supported
Microsoft Windows-compliant pointing device (optimized for Microsoft IntelliMouse®)
DVD-ROM drive
Note: Apple® computers based on Intel processors and running Microsoft operating systems are not currently supported.
At a minimum, 3ds Max 2008 64-bit software requires a system with:
Intel EM64T, AMD Athlon 64 or higher, AMD Opteron® processor

Trust me buddy, @ work i use Athlon 64 FX-74 - 3.0GHz and Core 2 Duo E6850 - 3.0GHz , and AMD Opteron workstation...
During CAD rendering or 3ds max rendering, i go with Athlon 64 FX. it just starts the rendering and FINISH it, NO noise, no need to Restart or system crash... Bt Interl core due Extreme edition is just annoying, It does the job, but it scares the crap outta me, Data lose, sometimes stucks, sometimes restarts, makes lot of noise...
But when it comes to multi tasking (I MEAN REAL MULTI TASKING) (scaning, gameing, rendering...) at the same time, i go with my Opteron workstation... ITS SLOWER relative to Athlone FX, but u can do heck of a stuff at the same time...
Intel is just too expensive than AMD, and AMD's job is much better for me...
Now if u r intel guy, then god bless intel, go with intel;)
am just talkin since i use all three of em... ;)
My specification would be:
Athlon 64 FX-74 - 3.0GHz
Nvidia 8800 GTX SLI (576 MHZ 768 mb DDR3) x 2
1 T HDD
at least 4 gb RAM

For professional apps such as those, you will probably want a multi-core processor, lots of RAM, and a good video card, none of which will come cheap. The intel Core 2 Duo line will probably give you the most best performance for the price, and you could get a decent video card for around $100, which then leaves you to buy as much RAM as possible, and, of course, the other parts. You should probably get a little more money first.

Hi. Your chief concern should be a really good GPU. I have had good luck with AMD but others may recommend another brand. Get the best (and most) RAM you can.

Intel Quad Core would be the way to go.
