sure, the xeons would help but I'm guessing one will be used for keeping up with the scene and the other for actually calculating what you are doing but then what's the poing of having dual set up?
so, yeah, in my opinion, a gig of ram is enough.. (heck even 512 is fine)

Whats your processor speed and how many do you have?Originally posted by BabyDuck
seams like somethings you cannot have enough. i have not played with pfx too much, but my maya likes to take 400 - 450 of the ram when working (did not look when rendering, usually go get some tea when i start the render). not sure if that is good to have free in advance to what windows needs. i have not yet ran intro problems with my 768 mb ram.

only one processor is operating when you use maya in a dual setup, the second is only used when rendering or multitasking big apps

and dont forget that you need a monitor that can show you what you doOriginally posted by mtmckinley
just don't forget that all the RAM in the world won't help you if you don't have a processor that can handle it.
so basically, if you have the best system possible, you should have least problems
