Re: Computer Specs
It surprises me it isn't bottlenecking given that the Pentium 4/D series wasn't that great, I had a 2.8ghz Pentium 4 and it really chugged in lots of encoding and rendering related tasks. Maybe your D is a later architecture that they improved to catch up t the athlons.

i5/i7 is a good jump, I may have to end up upgrading to a desktop as my laptop feels like it chugs at times in inventor with lots of parts.
