Hello!
I need help or advise....
I tried to download and install the Lumion demo to test it on my machine and I could not get it to start up past the splash page.
My computer specs are Windows XP, Dell Workstation T7400, Quadcore 3 Ghz, 3GB RAM and my current video card is Nvidia Quadro FX 5600. It seems like there are issues with the Quadro cards.
Do you think it would be better if I upgraded to the GEforce series card....I am considering the Geforce 460.....
Any insights much appreciated....
Thanks!
Randy

Lumion is a game engine.
Quadro is a CAD card.
I run the 1 gig GTX 460 for Lumion on an XP machine. Sings like a bird.
3 gigs of ram won't be enough for you for long, but you will still be able to do quite a bit.
16-32 gig is where you will end up if you have the coin and pursue this program.

Thanks for the insights.
Sounds like the GeForce cards are where I need to go.
I was thinking about getting the GTX 570 card and staying with the 3 G Ram for right now until I get into this further.
Would you recommend me going with upgrading my RAM to 16 gig and maybe going with 1.2 G GTX 550....
....both options are about the same price
Thanks!

I like the GeForce cards for Lumion. They work very well.
You can do quite a bit with 3 gigs.
32-bit systems can only use 3.7ish sumthin sumthin gigs.
64-bit systems up to - 64 gigs if you have the slots/& XP is 64bit/Vista/win7
More gigs more polygons, bigger textures, more movement, more action - more everything -
i imagine one could/can load up a lot of "stuff" inside Lumion.
there are others on this site that have boxs running 16g+.
check out their movies in the gallery.
I'd like to see a model chewing on 55+ gigs inside Lumion. Could be intense. :-o
There are much more technical people on this site than I - this is just my simplistic understanding.
Check out this model from BIG. It is a ram smasher.
