I have been reading the numerous post about how people want the old program back because there systems are inadequate to handle upgrades this game, even with these moderate changes the damand on there existing systems is severe. Well in my opinion if that's where your at now, you have been out of touch with reality, it is inevitable that you will need to upgrade your systems to keep pace just with what going out normal in the computer world let alone Gaming, and what make this game any different then the old Playstation or Nintendo. Most of who have been reading these forums know that it was coming and now are poo pooing the work that HTC has gone through to keep us interested and make more enjoyable to use. So thinking forward is what you need to do, I'm sure they will upgrade this again at some point and put even a higher demand your computer system. As for myself if the thing I want to do requires me to upgrade my computer to do it then I'll do just that if I want to do that thing bad enough, which from what I've seen most of players have upgraded or modified there systems to meet those ends. I think the trick is to build or buy as system that exceeds the requirements at present but will allow you keep up with changes as time moves on, my system was custom built in 2007 and went through this upgrade with very little adjusting.
My final word is that find someone who good at computer modifications and get informed advice on how approach your issues
