We have found that a good graphics card is essential if you are using a
number of layers (and particularly large polygons, such as relief
layering). If you are also using a large monitor (We use a 19") then at
least 8Mb of video RAM is best. Insufficient video RAM results in slow and
sometimes incomplete drawing of frames on layouts, especially multiple
frames and legends. We have a 500MHz CPU and 64Mb RAM which seems to be
sufficient.
