ok guys. i seem to have gotten lucky. my system is running perfectly with the updates so far. it;s beautiful too.
but........you guys that have good, bad, or in between systems..........look at some of the advice offered here. i see at least a dozen threads explaining how to make everything from a $300 ancient computer to a brand new one work well.
some of you have newer ones that don't run it. read the advice. give em a chance.
my system is one built by tildeath. the guy is probably one of the nicest people i've dealt with. he built me a system that handles this with ease....before i knew this was coming.
he also built it at a such a price, that it would've been sheer stupidity for me to try and build my own.
when i first contacted him, it wasn't to buy a new machine. it was for advice. he gave me good advice...hten i bought a new machine anyway.
listen to these guys....they know what they're talking about.
