Also, is 128MB of RAM for the one attached directly to CPU? This is less than the RAM of our current system.
That was probably 128MB on the video card.
Does this mean memory is not that critical for visualization? Our data file is typically tens of MB. When we animate it, dx sometimes aborts saying that there is not enough memory, so we have to make the size of file smaller by selecting fewer number of data at each grid cell (our data is multi-valued, up to ~30 variables). This is another source of frustration. Is there any recommendation for this as well?
As much as you can afford. Eight gigabytes of RAM wouldn't be overkill in many cases; from my (albeit limited) experience with DX, I wouldn't recommend anything less than 1 or 2 GB.
