"I guess every software has it's limit" - Availor

Every piece of software has it's capabilites and limitations. Plotted out you have an envelop. Xara has an extreme envelope. Other major drawing programs have a very small envelop. James runs his machine on the edge to begin with, so he will naturely get a crash more often than the rest of us.

james... What are your specs. I have seen AMDs outpreform Intels more often than not. The next time you upgrade, think about an AMD. They provide great bang for the buck. I have a Sony designed P4 at work for video, but my emachine with an AMD inside runs circles around it. Video editing is very close to pushing xara to it limits. You might want to think about it.
