What's the minimum spec required to run Visual Pinball?

What are the specs of the PC? And can you be a little more specific about VP complaining about virtual memory? Is there some sort of error you are getting when you are launching a table?

Long story short the CPU has cache, when it is consumed it off loads to the RAM, when that is consumed it is then offloaded to the windows swap file which is your virtual memory. So now knowing this, you simply don't have enough RAM and your page file is too small. Either add more RAM and/or increase your page file (sometimes referred to as the swap file).

Ah, ok... thanks for that info. I think it might be sensible to swap the computers around anyway... the older one is still a good spec but using it for a juke is hardly going to push it - whereas the other PC is quite a bit more powerful and would be better at handling the graphics of the pinball...
