Before we go any further, how should I set my system to better operate for performance, especially w/ regards to Carrara, Hexagon, Poser and the like?!?

Paging File should be at what? What about Carrara preferences? Any video options I should be aware of? What about that LAA thing (way over my head)? How do I maximize my system to better suit my 3d graphics needs?!?

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count, and those that can't..
