Alienware does not like SL!!!

[Adrianna Biziou]

Hello all, I have recently purchased an Alienware Aurora  for use with SL.  I expected this to be EXCELLENT!!  However, it crashes all the time.  If around other avatars, simply moving the camera and I crash.  Texture rendering is so slow also.  Can anybody offer any help on what I need to do to stabilise my new computer?  My system specification ....

Use the current 64-bit version of the viewer.

Yup. That is the big bottleneck.

You have 16Gb of memory and 32-bit software can only use 4Gb of that. That is already a big difference. Also, more and more software will be 64-bit only, so expect the same to happen to viewers. 

Moreover, you were warned on the firestorm download page at https://www.firestormviewer.org/windows/

And fix this. It shouldn't be that high.

Running SL in 4k is not exactly what I would recommend either.
