Very grateful.]]> Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:08:16 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2018-i3--i5--i7-.aspx http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1738-testers-machine-spec.aspx

This should give you a fairly representative idea of the range of machines that we Testers use - really it seems to just come down to overall video card power. Muvizu can only use one core, so that's not really an issue...it's quite light on memory requirements, so again no problem there... Get yourself a high end Nvidia card (the drivers on ATI cards suck) and then add an i3 or (the awesome) i5 with as much clock speed as possible. The i7 has lots of cores, and is very expensive, and is not really necessary (be nice to have though!). Oh, and of course, whatever you do, don't use Vista. It's not that Muvizu doesn't work with it, it's just that Vista is sooooo lame...

Hope that helps ]]> Thu, 02 Aug 2012 21:20:47 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2018-i3--i5--i7-.aspx
So what are Muvizuers' experiences with different combinations of specs? It would be really helpful to hear what computers/processors/RAM etc. people are successfully using without their venerable machines doing what mine always did which was to throw up its metaphorical hands in horror and either lock or go so slowly that an arthritic, asthmatic, one-legged, centenarian ant could have outpaced it.
