What is the size of your 'Downloads' Folder ?

I saw a little documentary on the rendering of like animated movies. And they get massive super computer to pull that off. And they still have to wait like over night for it to render. XD
Hah, is it me or is most people with linux super fanboys/girls of it?
Memory is an easy upgrade, provided your grounded, I doubt you'll have a problem upgrading it yourself.
We've estimated it will take approx a month to render our 4-5 minute short (on 2-4 computers, 10 hours per day). So yeah, I'd do almost anything to have Pixar's render farm...
And most Linux users does seem to be fanboys/girls of it - or they are closely related to one, and has been brainwashed by them... (happened to their mom)
About the memory cards - I'm terrified of doing anything wrong when opening the Monster and putting something into it - so I'll have to ask my boyfriend to do it. He knows which parts to buy (he was the one who put together my PC), and he knows where to put them...
Carlwashere:
Wow. That much for 4-5 minutes? Just. WOW.
LOL. Okay, if you insist on getting help. I highly recommend Crucial. Just google it, I bet your boyfriend has heard of it, if not, it's a great site for memory.

I am curious to know your system's specs. LOL
Intel core 2 quad 2.83 GHz processor (unsure if there are two), 4 GB RAM (I really want to upgrade to 6 or 8 ), NVIDA GEforce GTX 285 graphic card, 1TB (931GB) harddrive (560 GB available), 64 bit Vista. Plus a huge monster of a cabinet, and three fans that makes some noise, but keeps the computer at somewhere between 25 and 50 C at all times.
Special built (by one who knows a tiny bit lot more than I do about computers...). Took 2-3 days, if I remember correctly (I mostly slept in a chair, woke up, asked some questions, and fell asleep again). My laptop couldn't handle 3D programmes, and it tended to turn itself off randomly, so I really needed a new computer.
My entire Sims 2 folder is now at 31.5 GB (which is nearly half of the entire harddrive I had at my laptop, with 80 GB...)
Thank you, theraven! :D How long does it take it to load the neighbourhood screen? I'm curious because since I've got a new pc and my Downloads folder went up to 5.50GB, now it takes a while to load compared to XP (I have Win 7 64-bit). But maybe it's the fact I changed from IDE to AHCI mode.
There is a thread about Sims 2 and Win 7 for anyone who wants to discuss about changes. In your shoes, I'd go for more RAM too.

My downloads folder was well over six gigs until I got the Compressorizor and squashed the heck out of my files. Word of warning, though. Do NOT compress hacks or anything from TSR, that will cause your game to bork.

I always had a funny feeling about TSR... grr.
