Question about configuration

[thridee]

I have seen a Jean Sebastien Rolhion's model in his website with 2,5 millions polys.

Concerning my configuration with PIV 2.4G 512Mo and Radeon 9000 32Mo, my work becomes very difficult at about 1 million polys.

I know that working with masking some parts is necessary but divide a mesh that already having more than 700000 polys is simply impossible for my PC to have a good quality of displacement.

So my question is about your configuration because I want to upgrade my machine and I want to know whether it is better to add RAM to have 1Go/2Go or upgrade the graphics card to a pro or a better card?

Who has upgraded his configuration with an experience with Zbrush.

Thanks for your help!

I think increasing your RAM will have the most effect, ZBrush works best with 1gig+

Hi!BazC!

Thanks for your answer.

I was thinking but I was not sure.

more RAM is good.
graphics card doesn't really matter, since zbrush is not an opengl based app.

and ofcourse, CPU is nice :) but RAM is the best solution.
