sirkrite, wabe is correct. The video card has nothing to do with it. A few months ago, we had a long thread going here where many of us hardware geeks (most of us pros in the trade) ran some systematic experiments and compared render times, etc. to determine exactly which hardware components affect Vue rendering, and by how much. Wabe participated in those studies. If you search through the old threads, you can find those discussions and study results. Tiny, a bunch of us are professional computer scientists and such. If you'll provide an exact description of your CPU (make and model), and your motherboard and RAM, if possible, we'll try to help you figure out what is wrong. Also, for comparison's sake, could you tell us basically what your old system was too? If your CPU and motherboard really are twice the speed of your old machine, but Vue is taking the same time to render, something really is wrong. This forum is to help with things like this, so post some specs, and we'll try to help.
