How Important Is OpenCL

The reason I am asking is that I am thinking about putting my other systems as Linux, in order to save costs in OS anti virus and other areas.

Thing is I notice that my systems have Intel HD graphics cards, as I removed the one from the server, don't think you need a 560ti in a server, and the laptop I can't really change.

Intel does not support OpenCL on linux, so I would have to use the non CL version of Luxrender.

Does OpenCL give that much of a benefit or should I just move to Linux and use the non CL versions of the render nodes?

    If you aren't planning on using SLG or hybrid, then OpenCL doesn't matter. It is required for GPU rendering.

    I would only have the console running for Lux, and the rendernode for Carrara - will have to try it out I guess and see what the performance is like
