Disappointing is an understatement, Rayraz. After playing with Maya for a few months now and Lightwave last year for a bit, and keeping a close eye on my RAM and CPU usage, I have to say that you really get what you pay for. I love Bryce to death, but it's got a lot of room to grow. Also, I'm using a now-outdated system in many aspects. The only thing GOOD about my system is all the stupid little proggies that add up to it being a graphics powerhouse. Bryce, Rhino, Maya, Photoshop... Riptide... I can't wait to pull my HD's and slap them in a new system someday soon! (Recently Ser AgentSmith notified me that my Athlon 2000 was clocked down, not at it's best setting, and I got a quick 400MHz jump out of the deal!
