I was primarily a Mac person but got a PC to run Maya. I received for free a P3 700. I have just under 400 megs of ram and I just bought a Geforce 4 64 meg video card. I have a problem usin subdivisions when I model a character. It starts fine but gets really bogged down. I know that my set up isn't the best, but I really can't afford to spend too much more on my system.
I'm wondering if I got a new motherboard and added another 512 megs of ram would help, along with an AGP port 4x.
Right now the video card I have is 2x and can be run on 4x.
Also, I'm thinking that I may not have my video card setting right, cus the program runs the same as when I ony had an 8 meg video card. Literally no difference.
If I need to I'm willing to spend money on another video card, but hopefully not too much.
I'd really appreciate any help I could get.
Thank you in advance.
