Well, I FINALLY got Toaster 3.0 and was _I_ surprised! I brought up Lightwave 3.0 and tried to render some of my 2.0 scenes on my 2000HD+GVP '030 with ~9MB memory. And I only have two words to say: MORE MEMORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LW 3.0 choked when I tried to render my moderately complex 2.0 scenes. It appears the spec'ed memory requirements are ABSOLUTE minimum firgures!!! Golld luck to others that upgrade… Luke Montgomery, CompVid, Kansas City P.S. Anybody got some GVP 32-bit memory they wanna sell???

Actually…I was in the same condition as you! My only problem was the GVP '030 Board I had was 3 years old. No way ti upgrade memory. I could barely load CG and Toasterpaint I upgraded my '030 to GVP's G-FORCE '040 w/16 MB of RAM. All appears to be fanastic now!. And, yes…I have 8MB of RAM in 1MB X 8 Configuration. You can have all 8 MB for $200.
