Well, Turbo Silver is a good program, it has many nice features like brush
mapping, texture mapping and other misc tools. I have been using many tools
over the past years, ranging from SA3D,4D,Turbo, and Imagine. Turbo Silver
is now quite inexpensive and if you have the money I'd say go for Imagine.
it costs around $250.00, but the features surpass Turbo Silver and the 
interface is much better. The problem with system connfigurations is that
is you do plan to go into the 3D rendering and animation you will have to
speed up your machine. I have a 2000 base system w HD and 3megs.
My roomate however has a 2500 w HD and 3megs. It is significantly faster.

I know this is kinda rambled, but hope it helped a little...

I have used many programs, but never really got really good because I'm so
slow...
