Which, I'm sorry to say, is really the only way to do animation anymore. I'm strongly considering buying a group of quad-core (intel) computers and networking them so I can use them as a rendering farm. Lux and AMD don't get along, and they're not sure why (neither do I, but that's because AMD's screwed me a number of times in the past).
I think I will stay with my little Core2 Duo for a while... I am not doing that much rendering (and all of it just for fun) that I want to buy extra hardware for it.
Maybe when I upgrade my computer, I will see that I grab a little bit more power than I had planned
