I have a more general question than specific. How often do you guys crash maya. I have used Maya 7 and 2008 and have had issues with system crashes. It seems more and more often with 2008. I just don't know if that is becuase I'm getting better and making more complex things.

I have used a variety of software that gets pretty math intensive and have know good programs that have been "crashy".

I'm running a Dell Optiplex that was recommended to me by my bro who does IT for a major engineering firm. It is a DuoCore 6600 with 2.4 GHz and 3 GB of Ram. The video is a Radeon X1650.

Like I said, I know some things just get crashy. Am I different!
