Andrew, I have 2 Megs Chip Ram & 8 Megs of Fast Ram. Do I think 6 is enough? Well I have r10 & I'm looking to get another 4 Megs. The OpalVision Anim player is great when playing from Ram so the more ram you have thew longer your anims can be. It can play anims from hard drives but this method tends to be slow & jumpy. I only have one monitor & use the opal out for all my viewing. This tends to be flickery but I can live with it. Make sure the monitor steps down to 15 Hzt which none of the IBM VGA monitors do. It looks great on my Sony MultiSync. The display speed is so fast is a non-factor. Most of the 3rd party software makers support OpalVision. I use ADPro, ImageMaster, Imagine, & View tek with it. VistaPro does not directly support it but this really doesn't matter much with a multitasking computer since it's only a flip-screen and click on Viewtek to view your work. I have converted VistaPro anims to OpalVision format with great results. Imagine directly supports OpalVision. ———————————————-Don- via Whap!
