Hi again and thanxs for the help with the last topic. But now i would like to know what kind of hardware you need to be able to work smoothly. I have a crappy 3D card but i do have plans to get a better one. I would just like to know how much RAM, what 3D card and hard disk space specs. you need.

a decent cpu. 512+ram and a 64mb video card i guess.

i have dual 2.2ghz, 512ram (was 1024 but half of it died) and an old geforce3 and i have no problems at all. i think i have an 80gb 7200rpm harddrive.
wouldnt need that much if your doing game models. most of my work is rather hipoly. (and i dont plan to upgrade for a while:))

my old computer was 1.4ghz/256ram and a geforce2ti with a 40gb hardrive and it had no probs on lowpoly work.

At the moment I'm running on an Athlon 900 with 384mb ram and a GeForce 2 MX. Low poly work is fine, however the only problem is that I can barely play the newer games I want to model for! :P

Should be upgrading soon to a Athlon 2400 with 512mb ram and an ATI 9800. That should keep me going for a little while.
