Hello all

I am currently in need of a pc to use for FLUENT and would like some help on the issues regarding the RAM and processor capabilities:
1) If i were to use standard RANS turbulence models in double precision and had 16/32GB of ram, approximately how large a mesh could I solve?
2) Does the processor affect the size of problem that can be solved or merely the time it will take to solve, so for example, I could have 20million cells and solve on a dual core processor, but it would just take impractically long?
3) As far as the scale of the problem is concerned, would RAM or the processor be of more importance?

Thanks in advance
