Hi anyone can help me to figure out why my Blender 2.46 is getting slower every time i use it. I'm using Blender 2.46 on AMD Athlon 64 X2 2GB DDR2 with an onboard VGA card of 256 MB ATI Radeon. It really annoying especially when you are trying to model and use bones. Any advices are very welcome. Thx

I used to have an ATI card I was trying to get to work with Blender.  It didn't work well at all.  Don't quote me, but I believe it was the poor OpenGL (drivers) for the card that held it back.  It was a pci card with extra memory (versus the onboard one which worked better).  I finally gave up and bought a NVidia GeForce model.
