Default Re: The only thing that po\'s me ....

It's almost definitely a memory problem. I play on a 180mhz dell with 128 MB of RAM. Turns with 14 players and a LOT of ships take about 1 1/2 minutes. Since the machine is a piece of ****, that doesn't bother me. My office machine has both a faster processor and more ram (256MB) and turns there run in under 30 seconds with the same galaxy (I play the same game on both machines).

One of my earlier playtest machines was a 180 with 64 MB of ram. That was really slow. Memory does make a difference.
