@waseem1173 Final renders do not depend on the graphics capabilities of your machine at all. However, a reasonable (though not pro spec) graphic card is are required to work with textured models as I show in the video. I'm currently running a GeForce 9500GT card. I suspect that on an i5 or i7 PC you could get by with onboard graphics.
No offence but it's people like you that make computers seem nerdy. Rather then talking about strange things like energy efficient PC's, review or talk about high end gaming hardware such as nVidia and AMD GPU's or AMD's new 8-Core Processor, ect.
@66kcmiller Sorry, but it is definitely true despite the fact that all of you will argue against me because you are all fans of his boring wrath, but people like his have single handedly made computer building nerdy. Building a computer is about having a fast PC that will run games well. Theres no real point in building PC's if it's not for something that needs high performance hardware. Building computers should be about powning n00b's in high performance games.
@bgordski Thanks for your kind words. My most recent book was published in 2010 by Constable & Robinson and is called "A Brief Guide to Cloud Computing". The next is called "25 Things You Need to Know About the Future" and is out late 2011 or January 2012.
@microscopic789 My other "main" channel is explainingthefuture (I can't write a link here as YouTube won't allow it). I've also a channel called Nebula7Antics that is just animation and that I've not touched for years as hardly anybody watched it! :-)
@kbhasikevin Indeed it is! If you look just above it on the video monitor you can see the beige box that I use to switch between the monitor beween it and the QuadCore that I use for 3D graphics and video editing. But everything else I do on a computer is done on the green Atom box. I've just finished writing another book, and it was all done on the Atom.
Time to go listen to some DubStep and do some stuff in Google Sketchup.

Do you need a professional grade graphics card for this ?

GREAT!!! You Write Books? Can you give us the titles?
I hope that you enjoy the good feedback and will continue to add your expertise.
Why not email google about your multiple utube accounts and a work around that allows the viewer to access them from any of your great sites?
You are the true spirit of what google is doing to the world with the opening of knowledge. Be proud, you are doing a good thing.
