When i first started in 3D in 1990, my only workstation was (and
remained so for many years) a Mac IIci with 20 megs of RAM and a
Thunder 24 card. This was the same machine i used for audio
production as well.

Moved to a 486DX266 with 24 megs of RAM and 3DStudio V.2.  Then when
i finally quit doing 3D as a job in 1998, my machine was an HP dual
Pentium Pro 200 with 128 megs of RAM and the Perception with a 4 gig
Cheetah.

I understood why people said you needed top notch stuff back then,
but i don't believe that that still holds true today.
