Last year we went through an upgrade of our previous versions.
It cost us- $250 to go from version 3-5 and $150 to go from 4-5. This is the Educational Upgrade.
I dealt with Jeff Mazzone at Tor Comp. (888) 561-7521 They are an Authorized Educational Reseller. They may redirect you based on Geographic Region but give them a try. I don't know what the upgrade to 6 will be or is. You can also buy Full Education Versions from them if you need more seats of the software.
We used to run on a PIII 850 as our fastest computer. After the first few weeks it was the only one that could open the scene and process the info. two years ago, they added a new computer center in the school with 20 PIII 900MHZ Its good enough and the Net render makes up for the speed changes. But the faster the better. You can get basic 2.2GHZ comp with 256MB Ram for $700 or so, More ram is much better but wont cost much more. So try to raise some money to cover the costs if you need more computer power.
