I used to have a P4 at 3.2 GHZ with a Geforce FX 5200 and 64 MB of RAM. I know your scene would bog down my old P4 system. You can get a custom built PC with a Geforce 7600 and a P4D at 3.4 GHZ for $800.00 or less.

I now have a P4D (dual Core) at 3.4 GHZ and a Core 2 Dual (C2D) at 2.13. Both are light years a head of my old system. It is night and day. Your fly thoughs should not be slugish and play at 30 FPS in software mode (400 X 300) on either machine. When I use surface replicator on my new system I can have it duplicate an actual tree instead of only placing bounding boxes. A new system should help out but there will be a limit to how much a P4D or C2D can handle. I think both systems should handle your scene for animation previews at 30 FPS. You could post the Carrara file so I could test out the animation previews on my system at 400 X 200.
