    I have and 18 month old Dell XPS M1730 with all the trimmings i could muster at the time of purchase, with an Extreme X7900 CPU, 2 X Geforce 8800M GTX and 4GB RAM using Vista SP2 32Bit. Yeah, well it was the best hardware profile on the day...

    If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

    Thanks! :)
