thanks.

It is acutally for my g/f at work, I know next to nothing about rendering.

She uses 3D studio max i believe and said that a render takes about 18 hours at the moment but the res is crazy big like 18000 * 12000 ??? As it is for a huge poster measured in meters !

Will suggest:

Xeon 53xx series
Quadro 4500
