I run Vectorworks on two machines the first is a new one(see spec in signature) this is an 8 CPU machine the second is an HP Laptop its spec is Intel core 2 Duo p8600@ 2.4GHz, 2.4 GHz, 4.0GB Ram, 64 bit OS, windows vista & Geforce 9600 M GT graphics card. This laptop is about 18 months old yet it runs Vectorworks faster & smoother than the newer machine, all the info palettes refresh quickly, less crashes, less problems all round. I was lead to understand that the new machine would be better but its not, is this the software or the hardware? anyone got any answers?
