Not at this quality. With conventional lighting (and probably no AA),
maybe.. this was a ten-hour render, even with relatively little disk thrashing.

More than I have. Send me a G4 with a fat supply of RAM and I'll tell
you what I used. ;)

POV gets about 30 MB out of the 40 on my system; I think I used
error_bound .3 and count 30. I've spot-tested at .05 and 100, which
comes out a lot better (you can see the shadows from the lashes) but I
guess you'd need at least 256 MB to finish a render at 640 x 480 with
those settings.
