I'm running this on a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a 1.7 GHz Pentium processor with 1.00 GB of RAM. The OS is Microsoft Windows XP Professional version 2002 with Service Pack 3.



This is an antique computer. Trying to run 2012 with all the new Real Tracks is a real stretch here. The computer I replaced last year was a P4 2.8 with 2 gigs of ram. It was running fine but just didn't have the horsepower to run the latest stuff. It could be so slow that I would be fooled that Biab had hung up when it was still generating. If I tried to do something else during that time Biab would freeze up and throw up error messages.

I couldn't even try to figure out what's happening with your laptop, it's about 8 years old and for a PC it may as well be from the Jurassic. It has a 60 gig hard drive, probably running at 5400 rpm which slows the performance even further. Believe me this machine is another 50% slower than my old one. Have you checked how much free space you have on the hard drive and when's the last time it was defragged? If you have to keep this laptop for while I would wipe the hd and reinstall the OS and see if you can get another gig of ram. At least then you're giving it a fighting chance with a clean slate to work with. Keep it lean and mean with nothing but Biab on it. Also keep it mostly midi with maybe a couple of RT's not 5 or 6 with a RT soloist. And have patience when it's generating the RT's.
