one thing that i have learned is that if you keep your entire computer clean it will work a little bit fast. my desktops inside use to look like it never had been used for years, and when i cleaned it i noticed that i was faster. Not much faster but it was faster. (I wounder how dirty laptops get inside????)

I use a radeon x800 pro 256, and I can pretty much run Maya and any game I own very well. It is a semi old, but so is my machine. I recommend ATI, but that just my flavor... user added image
