Hi Juan, Merry Christmas!

If you do want to upgrade your machine, the #1 thing that I would recommend would be to add more system RAM.

That's usually the single biggest thing to speed stuff up, because once all your regular 256 MB is filled (which can happen fairly easily once you start building more complex objects and running more than one program at at time) Windows will start swapping chunks of memory back and forth to your hard disk which is so so much slower than having everything fit in RAM.

An older machine can work pretty well, but it does help a lot to have the maximum amount of RAM that will fit on it.

Merry Christmas Michael:

With a new PC better MOI will run it is to demonstrate that MOI adapts to almost any system with modest video card.

A question:
what would it happen if the HD was damaged and do I lose all the information?
can I install MOI in another PC? comercial version.


Best regards

Yup, that's true! I just wanted to mention the system RAM because adding more system RAM is a pretty easy way to make an older machine run more smoothly (for a lot of things, not just MoI) with only spending a small amount of money.

When you have less than 512Mb of system RAM, it can tend to get all occupied pretty quickly.


> what would it happen if the HD was damaged and do I lose all the information?

Well I hope that you are making backups of your important documents and models so you don't permanently lose anything that you have worked on!


> can I install MOI in another PC? comercial version.

Yes you will be able to do this - the commercial MoI will not be locked down to only be installed on a single machine.

That is becoming a lot more common these days, but I think it can too easily cause problems.
