#Memories…
At the risk of opening up a huge thread, I was hoping the experts
here on the forum would give me some advice vis a vis memory. I
recently got a new machine with 16meg and, as my old one had 32, I'm
feeling a little undersized. (I know, it sounds like a personal
problem).
With RAM the way it is I'd rather hold off buying the very expensive
16meg chips that this machine takes if I can help it for a while (who
knows, maybe memory prices will drop!) but OTOH I don't want to be
underpowered, particularly with release 3.
I don't do very detailed animations as a rule, but I'm just now
getting in to doing true color stuff laid to tape. Would 16meg make
most of you feel nervous or comfortable? I'm not talking about doing
the kinds of renders that take 20 minutes per frame (I average about
2-3 minutes per frame).
