[Paraview] Hardware for local install

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Keith,

There's no easy answer for this, I am afraid. It depends on the type of
data and kind of processing you intend to do. A few things to note:

1. most data processing is done on CPU.
2. rendering, including rendering of image volumes using volume rendering
techniques as well as surface/polygonal rendering uses GPU.

What is the type of data or kinds of processing you plan to do? Maybe that
can help weigh the scale in direction over the other.
