Eeeps! nooo not going to put xp 64 on my machine that is purring along sooo well with all my programs including vue 5... I think I will let e-on fix their software, not spend more money and possible problems FOR THEM...naaa... nooo.. :))  I am just glad I am now an "owner" of vue 6 for when it is "ready".... hopefully the price I paid will make the wait worth it...

My son replaced my ram... and says I have a REALLY good video card in here...that can take some of the resources FOR my cpu with a program like vue FIVE... which for the FIRST TIME (with the right ram in now) DOES run in open gl really fast and fine.... sooo all this shows me that my machine, and vue 5 is FINE.... and so my finances will stay fine too! LOL!!  I do run a lot of VERY old programs on my OS too....

Just hard to wait...cause of all the wonderful renders done by folks (wonder how many of those folks are MAC users?!) really make me want to "do that too".... I have gone in and played with JUST water and clouds, land...and it does have a NICE render engine.... but it's got to be really finished.... and me, who normally waits YEARS before buying a version of NEW software broke my own rule in this one case.... well.... ! Now my $$ helps pay e-on to continue working on the software.... sigh.... I helped "create Bryce" too, from version 2 for PC years and years ago... such is life in this world... (took me till just last year to buy Poser 6!! :))

I am not mad at all... it's my own choice....so I live with it... :)

Thanks for your suggestions and thoughts though! :)
