Animation System
Hello !

Since this year's software will probably even more demanding then last year, we face a problem of getting a system to run it.

What kind of computer(s) did you use for animation last year, and how did you get it? Did you get your computer from school, or used your personal computer? Did anyone manage to get a computer from a sponsor?

These are specs of computer our team was using:
1.4 ghz Athlon
768MB pc133 ram
geforce2mx video

This proved to be not enough last year, since the program was trying to allocate ~1.0 GB, and had to use virtual memory, doubling the rendering times. This year it will probably be even worse, because we plan on making more complex scenes...
