i have to upgrade my pc cause it is having issues with a full scene of maya ...I am looking for a rig that will roll threw the whole maya file and not choke up going in and out. it is slow and rotating it ..OMG ...so slow ..

if someone has specs for there pc it would help ..

i have not gotten into rendering yet but would like too ...so any help there would be good

my current specs

amd x2 2.5
3 gigs ram
ati x1300 256 mb card

this maya scene file is a car and high poly and i try to do anything and slow motion but if i hide layers on most of it and model a piece at a time something gets done ..but sometimes i like to see whole thing and not go at a snails pace
