From a lot of reading I've been doing online recently, it would SEEM that rendering speed is mainly determined by RAM over everything else.

I'm glad to hear someone else had a bad experience with xStream and it's not just me. My system is not loaded, but I have the strong feeling that even with 2 Gigs of RAM Vue will NOT be blazing fast.

I am losing my patience with Vue. I did actually test it on a machine with 2 gigs of ram and it was still not satisfactory.

I thin they need to be more honest and realistic about their system requirements.
