I rarely use Vue these days but am slowly getting back into 3D. My dilemna has been when to upgrade my 'old' AMD 3200 1GB system and to what. This thread has answered a lot of my questions before I asked them. Separate boxes for admin and art with the latter having quad core running XP 64 seems to the best solution currently at least for my way of working.

Meantime, Keenart, you're a star. I thought I'd done all I could to turn off XP's useless flashy stuff via TweakUI but your advice to change the Control Panel setting and switch to classic view has given me back about 5% resources. Also everything seems neater and easier to find. Cheers!
