Hi Stephen

What is the spec of your computer, for instance can you tell us what components it uses, motherboard, CPU, memory, hard drives etc. It may be there is a workround depending on your system. What operating system are you using, if it's Windows XP there are many and various tweaks which might improve the speed of operation.

Old doesn't necessarily mean you can't get good results, you may be creating your own bottlenecks by strangling your system with old drivers and software. I still have an old computer with an AT motherboard, a 500 mhz AMD CPU, 256mb of SDRam, 20Gb hardrive, running Windows 2000 Pro and Photoshop 7 which renders photographs very quickly, (20 - 30 seconds). My latest all singing and dancing computer with very fast CPU, 300Gb hardrive and 1.5Gb memory is not noticably quicker!
