Politics on an graphics forum? Bad move, poor self-control.

On topic-

To fully realize Vue requires the latest NVidia GPU's, a quad core or an i7, 12 gigs RAM or more which is about 1 year old tech in off the shelf machines. Number one however is of course 64 bit OS. The leap to 64 bit is like being reborn :) 32 bit is like driving a 50cc scooter over a mountain pass. You will make it but it will take forever. Vue8 is a hungry beast :) Vue 7 ran fine on my old Duo with an 8800 GTX and so should 8, I have not tried. It will just be slow and you will have issues with infinite terrains and procedurals with displacement. You also have the option of the software Open GL implementation.

The last time I stopped by my favorite computer store there are no longer any 32 bit machines in sight. They will not be missed. The last will go out for Christmas Gifts on the $399 laptop page of the ad's.

I read a post by somebody supposedly in the know that the next version of Windows will be 128 bit and the machines are in the works. 2013 he said.
