I have an Intel Chip and as far as saving every five minutes with this thing, that would be nice, If I could get five minutes worth of work in at a time on this obviously under tested piece of dreck. My machine specs pentium 4 2.5 MHz 1 gig ram 80 gig drive C 120 gig drive D. I've heard of people setting the swapfile size and that helping. Nowhere in the manual or on their website is any statement as to that effect. Even the people here who say they tweak the swapfile size never make any mention as to what they set it at. In the interim, one year, I have bought no new software at all unless it came out of the $!0 bin at Best Buy or someplace, or better yet downloaded it for free, because by the time it gets there at least I'm sure some website, and most likely not the original publisher's, will have all the patches.
