I'm in the final stages of searching for a computer to run Lightwave on,
and there are some questions still nagging me that will affect the cost of
whatever I get:
1: What's the difference between VRAM and DRAM in graphics boards?
On a related note, can a board with DRAM be upgraded to VRAM?
2: Is 16 megs of RAM really enough to run LW? I've seen this as
the *lowest* recommended amount, but is that even enough?
Considering that Windows NT takes 12 megs, that only leaves 4
to work with. How much memory does LW take?
3: If I get an Alpha system, will I be limited to running only
Alpha software (as there is a separate Alpha version of LW),
or will it run regular clone software? I assume it'll "clone"
just as smoothly as an Intel-based unit since NT has to work on
it, but I want to be sure of my assumption...
