Quote - I'm in serious trouble with Reality.... my computer just bogs down with it. Even after restarting to log out all other users, only having Daz and the render going it takes aaaaggggeeeessss.....
I know it's my current computer spec. I'm only running a Dual core (3.2ghz) with 3 Gb ram....
So, if you're happy with your render times, do you want to shout out your spec? I'm looking to get a new motherboard/processor bundle, but not sure what yet. (Though it's heading towards AMD, Intel chips are coo costly for the performance comparison IMO)
Look forward to finding out more from you guys!
Cheers!

I do love AMD processors a lot better than Intel chips.
I have an AMD quad core with 8GBs of RAM (I am going to upgrade to 16GBs soon). I'm using an Gigabyte motherboard and NVidia graphics card.....It replaced my Radeon graphics card a few months ago. I did see an improvement in render times switching to a better graphic cards too.
Normally I have one render running...firefox open....daz studio and crazybump open ....and I can still watch a movie without anything lagging.
I have a render running right now with Urban future 4 and 3 robots using an HDRI for lighting and it should be done in about a total of 6 hours. Which is a lot better than my old system. I think I set a record with one Reality render taking about 98 hours
