Obviously dont go for a machine with a Voodoo card in it..... lol the editor manual does mention some incompatibility with GeForce GTS card but only minor..... The card I am using it is the NVidia riva TNT2 m64 32Mb and that runs my montser fine....know what I mean? I think this is now the card you will get as standard in most new machines .... unless you are talking serious money.... LOL ------------------ I WAS PRESSING THE DARN WALK BUTTON !! IP: Logged

That is an NT based system and will not run a whole **** of a lot of games. I use both the GEForce 2 32 meg and have a Nividia TNT 32 meg as back up and both run TR and the editor ok. IP: Logged
