That sounds familiar Xenophonz. I've currently got three desktops and a laptop in my render farm. A 1.2GHz P4, an AMD 2200+, 1.8GHz P4 mobile and my main A64 FX 53. All machines have at least 768MB RAM and are stuffed with extra hard drives. To save space I got a KVM switch to connect the two older desktops to a single screen and mouse (the keyboard is usually stuffed away in a corner). But then with an external film scanner, a flatbed scanner, Wacom tablet, colour printer, laser printer, router, firewall, speakers, etc. etc. There's still no room! Back on topic - memory is reasonably cheap at the moment. The more the merrier, although I'm not sure above 2GB is going to be properly utilised until Win XP64 comes out.
