memory

Graphics use memory, and vast amounts of it. No software avoids this.

Seamless image manipulation, shading, etc. require even more memory.

If you are ever privileged to work in a graphics studio or special effects studio you will be surprised at the vast memory arrays. Very scifi feeling.

Vista works and works well and all the needed memory is about...whats 2gb or 4gb go for now days? Really cheap compared to the $100.00 per megabyte people paid for some years ago.
