Hi,
well you have a hell of a machine there and yes, you CAn use it and realy good too.
To make you feel better, I only have a Intel Celeron (based on P 3) with 1.2 ghz, 768 MB SDRAM PC 133, now hold tight, a Nvidia Vanta 16 MB Graphicard with Direct X7.
Now I guess my post relaxed ya some there hey?
And yes I can also make 3D graphics and render, it just takes a loooooong time to render highres Pics with lots of textures, lights etc. Sometime even over 5 hours for a still.
But hey, when your low on money and only do Hobby things, ya have to deal with it lol.
Does anyone else here have a system like mine or even lower?
