Hey everyone,
I have been tasked with starting up a design dept for a very large engineering firm. It looks as though we will be spearheading the visualization end of the spectrum at this office. I have submitted my 'shopping list' and everything was accepted with one caveat. The 64-bit, they say, will be an issue (due to hardware standards)and I will need to supply some verbage (even heresay explanations from others in the community) backing up the request. I have four (4) quad xeons specced with some quadro fx's. Every large visualization project i've used needs more than the 4gb memory footprint. I know its possible to hunker down the file sizes, but i would love to hear some help from you guys. Photoshop as our mainstay w/ occasional 3d work with the standard V-ray/3dsmax setup. Even really good links would be awesome. Google has given me some, but I thought I'd ask the guys who may have already been in my shoes.

Thanks in advance!
