The computer is fine as it is now, but you need more RAM because it'll obviously make rendering so much easier. I would say three or four gigs would be great, two if you aren't so hardcore into it.

Also, I'm sure if you managed better you could be under 250 gigs. just because you have alot of space doesn't mean you can let unneeded things pile up in your computer. I doubt you have 500 gigs worth of stuff that you absolutely need.

It basicaly means that two IDENTICAL sticks of memory will take turns, like this:
Stick 1 - Refresh
Stick 2 - CPU Address
Stick 1 - CPU Address
Stick 2 - Refresh

Repeat until computer is turned off, typicaly 400 times a second.

The consept doubles the throughput of the memory, while keeping costs down (Because faster memory by 2x typicaly costs 3x the moneys) however the sticks must be identical. If you have 2 identical sticks, and 2 non identical sticks in the same machine, you lose the bonus. Buy sticks in 2 packs on newegg.

Hi, your name means the cat 88.
