I wonder which one houdini would run faster…
or is it same..?
and for now,
I have 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7 , 8G ram..
will upgrading 8G ram to 16g make much difference for running/rendering houdini?
Thank you

You wouldn't see difference when you have all effects turned off, but as soon as you pumped everything on, in the same scene, when you where doing 180-rotation in viewport, you could only see three frames from this rotation on Linux (begin, 90 degrees later and 180 degrees later) while on Windows it rotated smoothly. So it depends.

Which linux distribution you could reccomend?
Or its equaly fast/stable on any distr?
Thanks in advance!

mantragoratry to check at two places;
We had some problems in opening big scenes on Ubuntu, while the same scene was not a problem for Windows 7 or OpenSuse.
But something more surprising was that OpenGL worked better on Windows 7 than on any Linux distro.

Test it and see what suits you the best.
