Requirements for Maya 5

I'm on vacation this week and want your help starting Maya 5 Fundamentals. I'm trying to get Maya 5 loaded in my computer but have a problem. Maya 5 Fundamentals calls for 512 MB and my desktop had 512 MB when I bought it. I installed an all in one printer, scanner and copier and the MB went down to 448 MB. Do I need to get the desktop back up to 512 MB to load Maya 5 Fundamentals?? Also, is there a big difference between a 8x6 tablet and a 9x12 tablet when using a 17" monitor??

How would disconnecting the printer help Maya 5 Fundamentals fully load and run?? When I put in the DVD in all I get is a green screen with the read me, credits and chapters. I'm thinking I need 512 MB instead of 448 MB to run the DVD. PLease explain further.

Maya isnt looking for 512 megs of ram currently being used, its looking for a minimum of 512 megs of full system memory, which you have. you shouldn't have a problem until you do complex renders.

I don't think you'll have a problem. 512 is recommended as the minimum. You may want to disconnect the printer while rendering. And you'll have to be careful of how many other programs you have active at the same time.
