but i reccomend more than 2 gb of memory and if you can make sure u have 128 dedicated video memory for 3D visualizer best performance. i have an amd turion 64 bit processor and it works good. i say just try to load it in every aspect video grahics. hardrive. processor. everything. i have a hp pavilion dv 2000 with 120 gb hardrive and 287 shared memory gprahic card from nvidia and it rocks! the only problem is windows vista. stil has bugs. but i run the compu demo and it works very good. peace! jingles!

Thanks for your assistance and emails... with your help I found the perfect computer Acer Turion 64 2 gig ram with 512 vram. Now if I can just get everything to work. I'm using a wireless remote to trigger Easyshow from my pocket that goes to the audio system with video from the time line going to 2 monitors. The remote systems come from Wirelesswizardry.com. Next is integrating the lights into it all!

sounds cool u should record a video on ur 3d viewer and post it!!! please? jingles!!

Hi Franco,
Keep in mind that the killer of computers is heat. Especially if you are doing shows.. make sure your PC is running cool and you have a fan on in or under it.
Best regards,

and make sure nothing is blocking the fan. just like lights at least 6inces between anything and the fans. i know cause if i am using my laptop on my lap and my legs block the vent for the fan it heats up kinda quickly and my comp. starts acting up. u don't want it closing down copu while ur in the middle of a show!!!! jingles!!

Try the hp-dv1000 laptop great computer no problems.

i have a HP dv2000 and i love it!

Franco, hp computers would be the way to go for the shows that you do and the hp's are very heavy duty and are very reliable.

I'd love to record a video of my own scenes, but dunno how to do it /=
do I need some especial feature or is it incorporated into the software?
thanks!
Alex
