Thanks - would this speed up render times much?

I know it works fine even with a P IV, 1 G, 512 RAm. I'm using it for Vue 4 and Mover:-) Of course, if you can afford a better one, rodluck is right:-) Guitta

well, my previous pc (PIII550 mhz 128kb ram, video 16mb) rendered my image Hot Summer (see link) (with Ultra option) in 3h and 30m, now with my P4 2,8 ghz, 512kb ram, video 64mega, the same image was rendered in 30m.bye

Yes, rendertime increases with the power of the computer.

Well.... I run an AMD 1.2 with 1 gig or ram, 64mb Nvidia Gforce 4 . I usually do not have any problems unless I get a pic that is over 400mb in size, then it is just really slow in saving the file. Otherwise it works fine. (yeah i know i need to upgrade too) James

Guitta, i think you meant decrease probably. Otherwise i will use my Palm PDA for rendering in the future. :-)))) But be aware, RAM is very important as well. You never cant have enough. Nearly as important as processor speed.

yes Walther decreases, not increases:-)

In fact I wanted to say that a powerfull computer increases render speed:-)

lol - but who needs render speed? We all need some sleep sometimes. I always think it is an act of humanity that images need some render time! Have a nice evening, Walther

If you want to compare render time, see attached link. LAH is gathering results of render time on variety of machines. The page is written in Japanese, but you will see the results. Rendering picture= "Cactus Motel"(in Vue CD), rendered "final" mode, 800*600 pixels. How about your PC? wabe said: >We all need some sleep sometimes. I agree:-)
