hmmm....was wondering whether my current setup would be enuf....
it's 2.66 GHz Intel with 512 MB RAM for the moment.
Using an onboard graphics card and sounds card.
if it helps, my board's Intel D915GAV.

that ok laaa....
if u got money so much.. buy more ram...
GFX card and so on...
wut for high perfomance rig if u r not using it to da max....
huhuuhuuhuhu

onboard graphics will be slow.

since u said u using 3d.. i say it is not enuf. u using onboard graphics and ram oly 512.. not enuf la i think.. just my opinion since i hv experienced using fx5200 with 512 ram and ati radeon 960 pro with 1gb ram.. really different.

at least get 1 gb RAM to do 3D stuff.

but u can try to use at 512 Ram for a while...

u will see how much important the RAM is in a PC spec.

As a start ok...............but do grap a AGP Card Soonest Possible..........Intel GMA 900 Extreme Graphics just Sucks..........Even Though it Supports DirectX9..............

Huh is this topic in the right thread ?

6600GT good for 3D/graphic stuff?

what graphic card do yall recommend?

aww gosh, cos' the last time i saw the top end graphic card was like RM4K.....
blood sucking!

1GB RAM would be okay in terms of pricing, though i would consider putting it to 3GB. heh.

change a graphic card and add more ram 1GB or 2Gb will help,

when using Intel for 3D, turn off hyperthreading. that alone would help double your performance.

wat kind of 3d u wanna do first? if only for modeling i think is okie enough.. if u say wanna do paritcle and another effect .. u should get more memory...

3D static images and 3D animations like those evident in films.
wat do you suggest for the former and later?

1GB and 3GB of RAM perhaps?

Get something like mine. I bought this specs specially for CAD and 3D randering. Dosent fails me like my old system do.

And if you have extra cash to burn, raptors will be great.

for me i think alot my friend doing 3d static image was using old machince to do it.... is okie to do modeling in old pc ... if u say doing films i think will need more ram to render out the video ... 2 or 3g... but remember ram always not enough to do that video thing.. dun expec too high and running smooth for that...

I need a upgrade too.

Nowadays 1GB ram is the minimum for designers, especially CS2 versions. Most of my friends also encounter the same problem as you, they are running 512MB ram, yet still having difficulties like slow loading.

what's raptors' functions like?

by the way, you've got an external GEForce graphic card there huh?

and wat's really the NForce?

and what are the differences you felt with the more-than-normal 550W of power supply ?

RM4K for a graphics card ??? i hope it wasnt A card...better be something like SLI 7800GTX's or something...

also, about 3GB...if you have 4 RAM slot..then it should be ok...but if only 3, then some boards dont like all the RAM slots being used up...

Wrong post Bro......................

.... trust me dun buy too expensive card to doing 3D......not really worth it.....
