True. My computer isn't that bad, but I am looking at buying another 4 gig of memory. The MB is old enough it'll only take DDR2, but the cost for memory is minimal. My vid card and CPU aren't that bad yet. It'll usually handle anything I throw at it. The stuttering might be my fault, as I've been experimenting trying to get the best I can out of recording quality. I've used and seen good reviews os MSI Afterburners recorder, which is free, so I'm gonna play with it for a short Richmond video. Of course, that is rFactor1, which is a different animal than rFactor2.
