Hi Dolly
Just some comments regarding video cards
I am an ATI card user since 2003. I have 2 cards, one in my main computer and other in my laptop I have a third computer with the same configuration of the main, but with Nvidia VC
The difference between ATI and Nvidia is incredible. Not only Punch runs with full accelerations, but the ATI rendering results are amazing
However, in my experience, is not only the ATI VC, the ATI Catalyst drive also makes the difference. The fact is that, the VC of my laptop is not Catalyst enable (as most of the ATI VC for laptops), and I feel differences (for some complicated rendering in my laptop I must go down with the accelerations, for example) I didn't see these issues with my main VC--> ATI Radeon Catalyst enable
Therefore, I'd suggest that you check this feature if you are going to buy an ATI card
