Thanks for the advice! Seems I will keep Windows XP and streamline my software portofolio ;) At the moment a defragmentation of the Poser/Vue harddrive is underway. I will prolly have to reinstall XP on C. At last that worked somehow last time. Good to hear that 2 Gigs works on Athlon 2600 and XP ? Sounds like the next best thing to do? Thanks again! LooKoo
