Pualo Amigo Good questions ....I am using XP, 2.4 Ghz machine with 1 Gig of RAM. I never use the PROTEL 2 format because it takes even more time to load and process the lines used as feilds which are disgrarded in PCB. Incidently when I broke the netlist down to two files, it loaded in several seconds verses 30- 45 minutes to crash time.
