I have a cpu/ram meter on desktop so can see that it reg reaches 5.5 gigs will take your advice by not messing lol. Will wait for Ram to come down in price and maybe get some january time. Back to the origional topic -

Solid State any improvements to rendering... we have established more ram is definatly going to help.

I do have some quite large hangs in between frames when rendering an animation,,, prob due to textures pictures etc. Is this a job for solid state?
