Hiya Eric, You're right, I am thinking about replacing my PC - but the fact remains there are a number of people like Dave that have a perfectly reasonable machine that can't run it properly either. This has to be more than simply a bad DLL. His performance sounds like P5 is using bad memory management. My machine just can't begin to cope like Dave's. Suppose we do upgrade our machines, are we gonna need - dual Xeons and 1GB of RAM to make this thing work? (Dave has a 1.8GHz with 512MB!!!) This is quite a bit higher than the recommended specs posted on their website. Cheers, Bonzai Gopher
