I used to attempt Lgeo mania on my 32Meg Win95 machine, but could only
manage a few dozen pieces before grinding the system into submission. (Ummm,
not that the system submitted to actually rendering the picture, rather that
it finally admitted defeat at that time.)
Nowadays I have 256Megs and haven't yet produced a model that couldn't be
rendered. This includes sets such as the the 1980 Auto Chassis (#8860) which
weighs in at 662 pieces according to the Lugnet set DB. (And that's not even
counting the additional shapes needed to construct hoses and rubberbands,
and of course the obligatory checkerboard planes with chrome spheres also in
the scene!) I've given my computer a few headaches now and then with some
nasty recursion tests and all... but that's hardly fair, is it?
In my experience, 32 megs is really pushing things, but otherwise Damien
is right on. 64 megs should get most people by with LGEO, and anything above
that is great.
(BTW, I've never believed that stuff about more memory making POV-Ray
render faster.)
