    Hi

    This is probably usless advice but I do like the sound of my own opinion and you have posted twice!!

    It would help if you explained what you mean by ‘not smooth’.

    Does your video card support Open GL? If not then the image is rendered by S/W and that’s going to be slow, possibly erratic (not smooth?). PI would have whinged at you when you first loaded it, do you remember a whinge? There may be a help function in PI that tells you if it is using Open GL, I’m not at my machine at the moment so can’t direct you.

    Your RAMs OK – You should be better than 1.5GHz on the PC at least I guess.

    Hope that helps!

    From the banner select View/Preferences and the OpenGL Tab.

    Hopefully Use Hardware Acceleration will be ticked – if not try ticking and see what happens.

    Also you might want to download the latest drivers for your card, I did it for my card and its Open GL performance went way up.
