I'm pretty happy with my system, as well.  Except, I did run into a lot of crashes in Vue 9, it seemed.  I've been trying to become more familiar with the Function Editor via Vladimir's tutorials but find the settings he is using don't fit Vue 9.  He did indicate he'll rework the FE tutorials for Vue 9 so I'm looking forward to those. But I figured the crashes were due to my inexperience so I didn't feel complaining was justified.

I did have to pay a pretty penny for my computer this last spring but hopefully, it'll be with me for a while, so it's worth it. 

Yes, I'm really curious about ddaydreams' render times and specs as well.
