I would like to point out a difference in thinking here.
64MB may be fast and good enough for rendering any complex/big model ALONE.
That being just the model with a simple grey floor or the building
instructions. Since I usely render my models with a scence I have noticed
that these do require more resources from my PC. So if you want to render
lego scenes then more memory is better.
