I'm surprised you only scored 46seconds... I was expecting you to be right there with Emo. With 2GB of RAM, your disk drives aren't even entering into the equation on this render, so that isnt going to improve things.

I'm completely baffled as to why you only see 80% processor usage during the render though... that would drive me nuts! If you could get that 20% to run, you'd be ruling the world!!!

I love having a good card and two monitors... it makes using Maya so much more fluid as you're not always opening and closing windows and panels.
