I’ve got news for you: FR loads quickly on this 2004 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 w/o a graphics card too ...

I guess I was too subtle. I certainly don't pile on all that hardware to load FR quickly. I was being facetious when I mentioned that FR is tolerable with it. This hardware is for VERY large databases (2,000,000 records x 1012 fields), and very large spreadsheet calcs happening simultaneously. Loading FR quickly while doing that other stuff is a bonus.

Ya .. I’ve got a Win 7 box I run a 3D EM ‘solver’ on, using FEM where an object is described via ‘tets’ (tetrahedrons) ... the smaller the tet the better the resolution, so the trick is to _not_ over-run installed memory in a PC/machine by wisely choosing the tet size and orientation. Some antennas are longer than wide, so, one can adjust resolution to ‘fit’ memory!
