The 10,000 barrels thing is what the CELL does VERY well. Rendering it however, would take a lot of work. I do think it’s possible however. If you offloaded most of the pre rendering work to the CPU (again, something the CELL is VERY good at), you could get by with 256Meg of video ram.
Where you will find the biggest hurdle imo, is the 256Meg of system ram.
