i chose P5 over P4 without really doing my homework on em.... i got Intel Celeron 1.0 Gig 66Mgz FSB 512 PC-133 SDRAM 20 Gig. Drive (half full) 32 Mg VRAM A crappy motherboard so far the only problems ive had with P5 is when I start to render too many shadows from lights....the comp doesnt hang up or anything...it just takes a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time to complete the render....i tried a render with global illumination with all shadows cast.......after 5 hours of rendering i just canceled the render process.....the comp didnt hang up through all that! it was just slow... P5 is great man!
