But there's a big difference between 1.4 and 2.1 chip and if I understand right, the chip is crucial to render time. Not that render time is a problem, Poser is way faster than Bryce. But when I tried a flash render it ground to a halt. Ok, so maybe 512 isn't enough. That beggs the question of ram speed. The ddr is 266. There's faster out there, but I'm not sure the pc3200 is all that necessary. Seems to me that capacity (1g over half g) is more important than clock speed.
