Hi Rich,

I run IDL v5.5 at home on a XP1600 (1.4GHz) W2K machine with
no problems, using a GeForce2 400MX 64MB card.

As someone else said, it fairly smokes along.

The electronics tech here at work through whom I bought the system
says that it effectively matches an Intel P4 2GHz machine.

Your salesman is perhaps either pulling your leg, or living in the dim
dark past, or perhaps talking about some _really_ high end video stuff.

How many pimples did the kid/salesman have?

Andrew
