    If I bought a CRAY super computer will CA be faster?
    No self-respecting "Super Computer" would have any Windows Operating system on it so your question is moot.

    The size of your Library Browser content is also a factor, how you create (your procedures and habits) your plan and layouts is a factor, yes the character of your PC, its hardware, its cleanliness, its maintenance, other applications you have installed, especially the ones that run "in the background" all add up to "performance".

    There is no real "standard" when discussing any program that runs on a Windows PC, there is acceptable and unacceptable, you might say a band of tolerance as opposed to any kind of scientific "standard".

    Another article shows Cray and Microsoft have had a combined solution since 2008.

    That's also what i have heard also. http://www.chieftalk.com/showpost.ph...4&postcount=15
    I don't ask this for only Cray super computers, before i purchased my current workstation my computer advisor had told me that the best OS for this configuration was MS Server 2008. However i didn't want to use an OS which i was not familiar with, and wasn't sure if all the programs including Chief i had been been using were compatible with Server 2008. So i decided to use Windows 7.
    This is why i wonder if anybody tried to install and use Chief under MS Server 2008...

    Ozgur,
    Now that you mention it, I recall I have access to a free copy of MS server 2008 as a part of a development subscription. I may very well download it and test Chief on that platform.
