I'm trying to find a computer that works with Vue Pro. I have two very similar computers: 1) AMD Athlon 1.4 ghz ASUS A7V 133 motherboard 768 MB PC133 SDRAM Windows XP Gforce FX 5200 2) AMD Athlon 1.0 ghz ASUS A7V 100 motherboard 384 MB PC100 SDRAM Windows XP Radeon 8500 Vue Pro runs fine on computer #2 machine, but won't even stay up for 2-3 minutes on computer #1. These are two very similar machines, and before you ask, yes, I've tried switching the video cards, no difference. THIS IS NOT A VIDEO CARD (DRIVER) PROBLEM SO DON'T EVEN GO THERE. BTW, OpenGL works perfectly on computer #2, and it also works fine with Mover 5. I'm thinking the crashing must be related to the motherboard. Although the motherboards are made from the same manufacturer (ASUS), they are slightly different. I also tried Vue Pro on a Sony VAIO 2.2 ghz with 1 gig ram, same crashing after 1-2 minutes. So I want to know, from those of you that can tell me specifically: What motherboard are you using in your machine, if it runs Vue without crashing at the slightest whim? I'm specifically interested in more modern motherboards, because I'm thinking of upgrading my machine, but I don't want to blow a bunch of $$$ if Vue is just going to keep crashing. Thanks.
