well it's hard to say how much %. On the rendering bar there was no blue box. hardware was: p4 3ghz, 1gb ram

A tubular render. However, I know its the modern thing to have a big flashy tv screen with surround sound cinema TXT blah blah blah, but it doesn't half create a dull space. What happens when the TV isn't on? I would stick my sofa so that it looks out over the water.

and I... would rather go out and sit on the beach when tv is off

hmm, ideal living room. I think considering the view, wouldnt you make the entire wall that faces the water operable glass ie stackers or bifold doors with remote control suncontrol either external louvres or blockout/screen rollerblinds so you can darken the room for viewing tv. plus i reckon the tv is too high up on the wall.
Timber floors always render awesome, nice gi/materials btw, im sure you could get the same result in 4 hours with lower settings.
