hmmm... a year or so ago, i did eight michaels, with textures, with my celeron 466 and.... i couldn't've had more than 128 meg of memory. more likely less. i now have a scene with... let's see... four nude stephanies; one stephanie with the maya roll hair (that's a killer), three fantasy villain outfit pieces, and a pair of xena boots; one michael with wedge hair and mcfs and a cape. plus a buncha architecture props and two ex-dynamic cloths (they were changed into static objs when i was done clothifyhing them.) all on my... gee, same celeron 466 with 196 meg. well, it's been going up; now i have 5-something. no, not 512, some odd number. don't ask me. :/ stupid thing won't render with its textures, though.
