for those of you wondering which is the best hardware to run maya into, i can say that if you have the money to buy a Adrenaline... i wasnt allowed to mess with it and install maya (i wasnt even allowed to think about messing that system... ), but a dual 2.8 mhz with 3 gb ram, quadro fx 2000 and lots of scsi disk space is guaranteed to make it fly. I want it in my home!!, I WANT IT! And you also get that hub thingie with all sorts of in/out connections...
