I won??t even try with my modest configuration.
If this continues,soon Celestia only will be COOL to people with TONS OF MONEY.
Many developers are more concerned in developing models that only works well in SLI than building a 32k map of Moon or Mars,for example.And we have plenty of data for both...
You really need to shake this inferiority complex you have about your computer, daniel.
Sure, some models are going to be too huge for you to run. In that case, either don't run them, or upgrade your computer, or maybe if you asked nicely you might be able to persuade the person who made that model to create a lower res version of it for more 'normal' computers like yours.
But as Selden pointed out, most people don't have these uber computers anyway, and you don't hear them complaining all the time about how they're being left behind - because they're not. There's still a lot you can do even with an older computer.
