Im on a 1.8ghz Athalon with 1GB RAM, and an intergrated graphics card at the mo, it runs Maya Ok, some of the manipulator handles dont work on all of the screens (eg if I'm using rotate it only shows on the persp window) But i'm gonna upgrade the graphics card with a 128MB one.

Takes a bit to render and animations run really slow when you play them back but other than that it works fine, (oh hardware texturing is slows it down too as well as not looking that good)


I think yours should be fine just look for a graphics card that meets the spec of hte motherboard (AGP 8 etc) and go the www.saverstore.com as they have good deals

Seems like the guy was on commission or something, like when I got my PC the guy was so so desperate to sell me insurance on it, after the 10th time I said i can build a PC/repair/ upgrade he went off in a right strop and left me with the boxes on the floor!!
