I'm sorry to put this question here but I've looked and looked and can't figure out how to start a new topic.

PowerTracks Styles run VERY slowly on my Dell DIM3000 (Celeron 2.4GHz, 512MB memory). The computer can't keep up and often the sound is distorted and the computer won't respond to the stop button for 1 or 2 minutes. Do I need more memory or just a real fast computer?




512 is barely enough for the Operating System alone.

If the Operating System is XP, Service Pack 2 or better, you might get a bit better results by adding nother 512 of memory at least to the thing. I wouldn't go more than 2gb total and don't forget about the DDR situation: Ram sticks should be added properly in the right amount per stick so that the machine won't be forced to use the ram in Single Density mode, which would mean that would think you've got more ram available by the "odd" ram-count, but in reality you'd be taking a performance hit.

Of course, a faster computer would load RealTracks even faster.
