Yes, if you looking at buying a computer to render
complicated images with lots of objects getting more
memory is probably the best thing you can do for
the money. When you exceed the RAM, POV fakes
more by using the hard drive, which is slow.

POV uses floating point math, the CPU, so the processor
speed is the other factor. This means that you don't
really need any graphic card for POV. Maximize your
CPU frequency.

Version 3.7, which is still in beta, has support for
taking advantage of multiple cores, so the more cores
the better.
