Posts: 6 		Hi, been following Muvizu for awhile now and I'd like to try it out. Alas, I must save for a new computer (or a more recent used computer). Besides the 7800 GTX and 2.4 GHZ, is there anything else? For example, should I be looking for an i5 or aim for an i7? My goal is to make a full on 30+ minute movie to the best visual quality possible. Is there a point where additional specs don't matter? Will the minimum standards mean the program will be limited in its function or will it just run really slow? Just curious how many pints of blood I need to sell...

BTW, this community rocks! Love watching all the new submissions. And the tutorials on Youtube are great, they make sense for a newbie even when they don't have the software installed! Explains how and what the program can do very well.

Low computer specs won't reduce the available functionality in Muvizu. It will just make it run really slowly. As far as processors go either an i5 or i7 will go good. The benifits between them really come down to personal choice and price. The bigger advantage is what the graphics card is. The 7800GTX is at the lowest end of compatibility for Muvizu so I'd try to get something a bit newer or you'll end up buying a new graphics card again in 6 months or so to keep up with games technology.

Have a look at the thread http://muvizu.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1088&MessageID=5491#post5491 its rather similiar to your question and has some more details on graphics cards.

Hope this helps!
