I suppose that if you have 2gb of ram and all else meets the System Requirement specifications, you should be set for anything. For a project like Help Defeat Cancer on dual core, I'd say 2gb is good to keep you running. I've been doing it on 1.5gb.

One thing, new computer and Vista(?) you better get more if you want to run full tilt......3gb maybe.... prices have been under pressure, so why not max out while you can biggrin

Re: Minimum requirements

Robert, with 2gb on WinXP on modern hardware (dual core) you should be running like Ben Johnson before quitting steroids..... give the specs and we'll tell you thumbs up or thumbs down.
