well.. being a mac guy i'd say get a Mac, and macs are 64 bit processors :)

... but.. since you're stuck on win/crash OS >:)

with all you do in carrara the second processor is a VERY big boast to rendering...

doing tests my dual 1.8 (again mac but still) blows most single processor PC's away so if you got the 2.5 duals is going to be WAY faster than a single, mostly with rendering only....but think of it this way... if a 5 hour render only takes 2 or three hours... you have those other hours to do with the computer what you want.. and anything that doesn't use both processors... probably isn't very noticable loss... make sense?
