Oh yes... it was just last summer that I found out that even 16 GiB RAM 
are not enough to render even one of these 3600 x 3600 measuring points 
ASTER Earth DEMs from the Japanese Space Agency as a curved mesh2... up 
to now, I have to content myself with a reduced resolution of 2600 x 
2600! I surely would need at least 24 GiB to render only one tile... and 
about 128 GiB to correctly render an animation of a full-tilt overland 
journey across Afghanistan (you know, Khyberspace!) - from the highest 
mountains and passes, one can look at least two tiles far!

And, of course, the CPU should be an AMD K10 hexadeka-core running at 5 
GHz (currently a K10 hexa-core at 3.853 GHz)...

See you in Khyberspace!
