If it has 32 MB you should be OK... but OK or not OK turns on what you feel minimum performance is. CPU and memory will both help rendering performance, I suspect, as will the speed of the graphics card. note that I am guessing here. (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Sorry for the delayed reply. I agree that plug-ins should have more functionallity than just playing the roole of a format converter.
