Hi Wyatt, How much RAM do you have dedicated to the VM? If you have the resources on your system you could bump it up to 16GB and that might solve your problem? As far as graphics cards, I really don't have anything to add from the last time we talk. That limitation is dictated by a fundamental component of the software called OpenGL. NVIDIA graphics cards are known to work best with OpenGL. Also, I'm fairly certain NVIDIA is still producing and developing new chips to this day, so I'm not so sure about them being dated. I just don't think they're common with Mac machines, maybe more so for PCs. --Shay Carter Software Engineer II UCAR - Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RAB-671867 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
