I have the maximum 4 GB ram installed which unfortunately translates to about 3 GB max available with my 32 bit machine.

I plan to upgrade to a new machine this fall which will be 64 bit allowing more memory to be installed. My present machine handles up to 5,000 Kb sized obj files. Some of the files I need to load are 12,000+Kb.

So what amount of ram & video memory should I consider for a 12,000 Kb obj file with a png file 3,000 Kb size?

Thanks for the help.
