Phantast: I definately hear you on being cautious, that (along with finances) is why I won't be ordering it until I hear for sure that this whole ecosystem is all that it touts itself to be in the system resource category. Dlk said it way back at the beginning of this post that Vue 5 Esprit right now has enough problems trying to do scenes that are in the tens of millions of polygons, and e-on is talking about 72 BILLION polygons for one of these ecosystem things, I will definately hold until I know for sure that it really does work on a 512mb system (and by work I don't mean "well, it doesn't crash, and you CAN render it, but it takes 4 months and you better not touch it while it does it's thing", I mean you can actually move things around in it without waiting five minutes for it to regenerate the whole scene for every millimeter you move the object :) But yes, very excited and hopeful and jittery (and yes, I think I felt goosebumps and hairchills somewhere along the line) at the thought of the new ecosystem feature :)
