i need to know if u have an intel graphics card, how much mem would you need to run programs like maya w/out any hassle? also is there any way you can speed up your comp? some of the softwares i have take a long time to open like winamp for some reason. i never had this prob b4, but of late things are slowing up a lot.

If you have an intel graphics card then just be happy you can even boot your computer, they're crap and highly unlikely to run Maya.

Sounds like you have a nice spyware-fest on your machine. Dowload, install and run:

Adaware (http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5)
Spybot (http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10289035.html?tag=lst-0-1)
AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5)

Heh, that's what they always say. Computers, just like cars, need maintenance. Tune it up every once and a while and make sure it's clean. Clean up as in removing spyware/adware as already suggested.

BTW, video memory is less significant to a 3D app such as Maya. What matters more is the raw polygon crunching and OpenGL performance, which the Intel graphics chip is sub par at.

i already have ad aware on my comp. i maintain it quite well. check regularily for viruses and once in a while i defrag it also. which is the best grafix card i should get then?? infact what is the best setup i can get??

Well adaware doesn't catch everything that is why he linked to more than it.
