I'm sure this may have been covered before, but I've seen some posts on computer specs and whatnot. I figured it would be interesting to see what we are using for Bryce machines. Let us know your basic specs. We really don't need to know the color of your AC power cable or network wire. :) Basics include processor(s) type/speed, RAM type/speed/amount, hard drive size/speed, video cards. This could be good for people looking to upgrade their machines and whatnot. Here's mine...well below what should be used for top rendering but it works for me for now: AMD 1.4 GHz Athlon T-Bird 256 DDR 2100 20 GB 7200 Maxtor 32 MB Diamond Stealth S540 Video Regards, MadDog31

Maddog, my last system was almost identical to yours. I upgraded the chip and vid card recently. AMD 2.1g 512 ddr (going to 1g when my order arrives) ATI 8500dv vid card ASUS A7M266 board 2 IBM deskstar drives (40/60g) Here's what I've found about CG and computer hardware... Bryce - get the fastest CPU you can. It works on just a little ram and low end vid cards but is CPU hungry. Poser - get as much ram as you can, its ram hungry. It will max your cpu no matter what you have, but runs your memory out of this world a lot and slows down with memory limitations. Pandromeda - yeah, cpu/ram are important, but you best have a high end large memory openGL video card cuz it uses the vid card for the display like you wouldn't believe. And of course, we all need fast, large HD's to store all that crap we collect and generate. So, IMHO, the ultimate graphics machine is either specific to the software or it better have all the latest gizmos in it.
