I have an AMD Duron 700 Mhz with 512 MB ram in a very old Win98se and the clothe simulator runs fast enough, but I remember that when I had 128 MB ram it was very slow and used a lot of the swap file, about the firefly renderer, I didn't  like the ugly method of conecting nodes, (I like a lot the DazStutio material panel) but a weekend I took the time to read and search the web, I found wonderful things like the skin nodes and the wonderful speculars, and translucensies, but there is not yet a tool like Mat Pose Edit to save all that setings and become a little tedious to make the changes in each new work, about the speed, if you don't use reflections or displacement maybe, the speed is not much longer than the P4 renderer in P5 (P4 renderer in P4 is faster) and results are by far better, but some raytracing or special node must be used, if you render a simple P4 mat in firefly no big diference will be seeing... (this is too much english for me in a single reply )
