I'm using Revit 8.0 in two Pc's.
- P4(Dual)3.0, 1Gb Mem, Ati X700 Pro 256
- P4 2.0, 1Gb Mem, Matrox 64
Both work Fine, and have no craches. The P4 2.0 is more slower.

My computer is an Athlon64 4000 with 2 gig of ram and fireGL v3200.
More important when it comes to Revit, is the memory, the more you have the better it is... I have not noticed any differences with the video card, I had a 9800XT and I can't tell if the FireGL is better! I don't think Revit is fully taking advantage of GL, they say they do but I just don't see it...

no problems, though a good video card is just as important...
oh, and I just noticed you are using IE, I would get rid of it if I were you and use FireFox, much better when it comes to ActiveX and spywares...  get it here: http://www.mozilla.org/

Things that might speed up your pc:
- use a defragmentation tool (start => all programms => Accessories => System tools
- check for spyware on your pc
- shut down as much programms as possible (look in the system tray for example)
- surely you have running a virus scanner, but how much system resources is it consuming? Virus scanners like Norton Antivirus 2005 (or whatever year) uses a lot of system resources (memory, cpu). So you don't want such programms running (and slowing down programms like revit). Use a program like: Norton Corporate, Avg, Kaspersky Personal. If you don't want to pay, and want it legal then use Avg. It's free, and doesn't use much system resources. Download it here: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
