I think I am going to ask Santa for a Cray computer for Christmas so I can run 2012 properly.

No need, just get a nVidia GTX 590... about half the price of the Cray...

I run with the GT220, all settings at highest, except shadows, which is at high. Runs smooth on the routes I've tried. If you're having problems with the GT520, then it's probably not the video card that is your bottleneck.

Gary,
Got any idea where I should be looking next? The CPU says it's only running 45%-occasionally bumping up to 55%. Ram's running about 70% (4 gig). How the newest version of the C&P coming along? I love it.
Regards,
Buzz

Where are you going to find a video card for the Cray? You'll find Railworks on a text terminal rather boring.
Also you'll need to find a place for the cooling system. And don't even talk to me about replacement parts!

I'll keep that in mind.
