Hasta La Motion!

Right now I have:

Win7-64bit (recently upgraded)
Intel Core 2 duo
6 GB Ram (recently upgraded from 2gb)
Nvidia Gforce 8600 GT graphics card
ASUS P5W Deluxe motherboard.

I was wondering if this is enough to render millions of particles for short student tests ,15secs maybe (apprentice)

If not what should I look into for the future? and with my current specs,what could I do improve performance in the meantime (until I gather money for the real deal)

I know I may need to get a whole new setup in the future,if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

I will be using mostly houdini (for particles)

thankyou for your time.

Sorry if this is an extreme noob question…I’m an AE user and I’m trying to switch to Nuke. One of the things I have noticed is when I play something it won’t display the green cache bar to see whats loaded to play. While the time line plays it will suddenly slow down at a part where it’s not cached but not let you know where that will be happening.

Is there any sort of cache bar in Nuke?

Thanks
