It was always my understading that RAM has nothing to do with Rendering.

RAM will enable you to manipulate more polygons, Hi-res textures and lots of elements in your scene with less trouble, but when it comes render time...it's all passed of the the CPU...Rendering is just Number crunching and RAM has little to nothing to do with it.

But then again...I've been out of the loop for a while...I could be way off on that.
