I have an Intel Core2 Quad 2.8GHz with 4GB RAM on Vista 64-bit. So nothing extreme really.

Woot! Then I would be able to run it for sure since my processor is more than twice as fast as yours: Intel Core i7 (might be wrong about the name but it's the fastest Intel you can buy), 4GB ram, Win7 64bit. However I bought a cheap graphics card, 512 mb nvida something. Would my cheap graphics card cause any problems you think? I plan to buy a new one, but I never play any pc games so I don't want to buy it in vain :)

I thought Intel Core i7 was 3Ghz? Or is it the Extreme version (3.33GHz)? I also only have a 512mb graphics card. Terragen 2 isn't heavy on your computer, it's just the rendering process that takes longer if you have a slow processor and little RAM.

I don't have the ghz specifics atm since I'm not at my computer, but I can check later. Aight seems like I'm cool then, and as I suspected the rendering is the most critical part. I think I'll give it a go but it wont be even near your amazing outcome. If you may have any download link feel free to pm me. Your do you own a purchased copy?

I highly doubt your processor is twice as fast, even if it had twice the speed in ghz it wouldn't neccecarely mean it'd perform twice as fast. Also a new nvidia with cuda cores would probably speed up the rendering a bit but I highly doubt you need it with any i7 really, regardless of wich one you have as theyre pretty win. I have 1 question though, I thought all i7's were tripple channel, wouldnt you need 6gb ram then?

It has four cores (Quad Core), and my card has Cuda. So you mean that I'll have to buy 6GB ram to able to receive the processors full capability?

Well, yeah mine's dual channel... the speed difference between single channel and dual channel with the same amount of ram is like 30% for me. Hardware isn't really my thing though so I'm not sure about how big it will be with tripple channel.

Same here, I just built my own first computer a year ago and I friend at another forum helped me pick out the components I needed based on what I use the computer for :)

I study IT, so technically speaking my knowledge of hardware should be above avarage but I suck at specific shit like dual/tripple channel.

Chatty, are we? :P
