Andy, I've got 2 Gig on the machine with .5Gig video card and it is STILL pedestrian. Luckily I've just got Vista on it as a testbed and I'm still using my 2K/XP workstation as my base machine. Hopefully the final product will be faster....if not then they are about to lose a whole slice of the market share.
By the way I just received the confirmation for 120 00 Praha-Vinohrady accommodation so see you there if not before.
