Thomas, in these days of lots of RAM and disk space bloatware is everywhere

.

Sparrownightmare, what machine did you come from? I'm running a P4 2.0 Ghz with a 1GB of PC2100 RAM. I'm thinking of upgrading but I'm not sure if I'll get enough speed increase to justify the cost. I was looking at the Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200 with 1GB of RAM to start with then get another gig of RAM if necessary. My main focus would be to decrease render times.

As an aside, why so much RAM? I never seem to run out but I don't use a lot of hi-res textures at the moment. What sort of things would I need the extra gig for?
