I'm using an acer laptop with the following specs: Intel Celeron 1.6ghz (533fsb) 1 gig ddr2 (pc 667) built in intel graphics with 224mb shared memory. (I'm using revit architecture 2009) Does video card really affect rendering quality? I'm doubting if I can produce better renderings if I upgrade to a higher spec'd laptop with a dedicated video card. I've read some articles saying video card DOES NOT have a direct effect on rendering quality.

Holy crap!!! You need an upgrade my friend, that thing should be in the Smithsonian. Rendering is all processor dependant and a 1.6 ghz 533 mhz fsb doesnt come close to what Autodesk recommends for Revit.

I really want an upgrade but I don't have enough dough right now... I can still live with the long rendering times of my laptop. btw, what laptops can you suggest for an upgrade. Is the macbook pro good enough for extra fast rendering? *sample rendering of my laptop

Quality is not effected by your system specs, just the rendering time.... I'm actually surprised revit 2009 starts on that computer
