Default Can my PC do Lightwave rendering smoothly?

Hi there,

This is my first time doing 3d graphics and using Lightwave 7.5.

I admit doing some 3d 2 years ago in 3ds max, but i totally forget everything. I am just impress what Lightwave can do.

Back to my main question,

My computer specs are:

Intel P4 2.6C Hyper Threading Technology
256MB DDR-400 RAM (currently, no money to buy more memory)
128MB ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Ultra (Directx 9)
Motherboard support dual DDR-400, build in 6 channel sound and network card.
17" LG Flatron F700B
Windows XP Professional SP1
use latest ATI Catalyst driver

I am not sure whether it is sufficient or not. I see those 3d artist use Apple Mac machines or better machines than mine.

I pray and hope that my machine can support it. I will buy more RAM in mid of December.

Can i configure my Lightwave to use Directx9? I know 3ds max can do that.

Thanks.

Oh ya, another question (off topic), are the free tutorials easy for a newbie like me to understand. Does the creator of the video show every steps from the start to the beginning with audio?

I just started to download 1 by 1. Will take some time to download all.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Chua Wen Ching :p
