Actually, I stand corrected; it's not bad at all (It's been much worse.) PC133 512 mb is going to cost you around $30 for the generic brands. Also, what OS are you running? I've noticed that people are having problems rendering with the win9x variants. Just as an example, someone running windows 98 would have poser choke, while someone with a weaker system would have no problems rendering with XP. Some of the older versions of windows didn't handle memory as well as the newer variants. Also, it may help to defragment you HD. If you system is defaulting to the swap space on your HD, then defragmenting the drive should optimize the drive for r/w access. If you need any more tips, just let me know (I'll probably start a separate thread though, as I'm starting to pull this one off topic...) ~DM
