[Bf-funboard] Physical Memory and Cycles

[Brecht Van Lommel]

More memory does not make a computer render fastering, it's the CPU
speed that matters most. It can only prevent a severe slowdown when
you are rendering a big scene that would not fit in less memory.

We currently do not support GPU rendering on AMD cards due to
technical issues in their driver that we can't solve.
