I think that you should buy the best machine that you can :

processor at 1 ghz or more, geforce3 or 4, and at least 512 Mo of ram.

With this configuration, you can expect to have really good performances

Hi, everyone:

I just realize this and would like to hear other experts' comment.
Several days ago, Nitin Jain posted a test code which rendered 1000
spheres. I ran that code on my machine. the time it took to show these 1000
spheres is 9 times slower than that he posted. This brought the wonders
that whether my graphic card is adequate for java3D programming. I am
supposed to render over 50,000 individual tree objects plus terrain.
I have a NDivia TNT2 64Model 32 MB mem. card using PCI bus (I don't know
what this means because the card is listed as AGP card in the sales invoice).

Anyone cares for comment? Any comment is well welcome and appreciated.

Cheers!
