One of the unique things I've found to be true in Vue is that the total number of polygons is not nearly as important as the total number of objects, and the total number of objects is not as important as the size and number of bitmap textures. Even with Hardware accelerated OpenGL support, the display can really bog down if you have a lot of objects. Texture size plays a big roll in how long an image takes to render. All in all, I've found that Vue is no more demanding than any other pro 3D rendering package. However, I may not be the right person to ask, since I have 512 megs of ram on a 1 GHz system. -SMT
