Pov-ray doesn't use any kind of hardware acceleration. Raytracing is
calculated only with processor so forget to buy any kind of graphic target
to accelerate the render. If you want the render go fast (and the computer)
expend money in all RAM you can buy. This will make the render fast because
it won't have to use the HD for Virtual Memory. P1,4 Ghz and 128 RAM sucks.
Mine is AMD K7 600 Mhz with 320 RAM and surely goes better than you. If you
are going to buy a new computer it surely goes about 2,4 GHz and 256 or 512
RAM. Buy 1024 RAM or more !!!.

See ya.
