[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 714360, member: 14268"] Hi, I guess the first issue is RAM. 512 MB is not enough, and what type of memory is it - DDR2? A 1.6GHz CPU will probably be just about okay, but that will depend on many factors - bus speed, memory speed. Adding a new graphics card is not a cure-all for running a graphically intensive program. Coming on to that, what sort of graphics card slot to you have - PCIe or AGP? If you only have AGP then chances are you will struggle to find a graphics card that is powerful enough, and it also tells us something about the age of your motherboard. In short, it is difficult to give you a useful answer without having a lot more information about your system. Best wishes, Mark [/QUOTE]
