What PC requirements do I need to run LPUB3D?

[1963maniac]

I realize LPUB is known for running slowly. I have a MOC I'm making building instructions for and LPUB 3D simply stalls when drawing the next page at 52/ 62. I leave it for hours but nothing happens. I want to get this project done so I can start a new MOC. My PC is 9 years old, so I'm shopping for a new computer. I need to know what is the minimum hardware needed to run LPUB3D and not have stalling (CPU, GPU, and RAM)? What works for You?

Anything current will be better than what you've got now.

I've had good success with Dell Outlet refurbished computers. They regularly post coupon deals on Twitter, with can often save you another 20-40%. I personally only look at the "Business" outlet deals, and not the "Home" deals.

As far as specs, look for an Intel Core i5 or better, and a minimum of 4GB of RAM. A dedicated video card is also a good idea.

You may want to use ldglite instead of ldview as renderer. Quality is a bit down (though this may not be true with latest versions of ldglite), but it's significantly faster.
