I've run a dual monitor setup on an old 64-bit Compaq (one of the first 64-bit AMD laptops available) and not had any problems with the nVidia card in that laptop.

My current MacBook Pro is quite a bit beefier and it doesn't have a problem either.

Note that the first one was running Linux and the second OSX (based on BSD Unix) so neither of them have some of the baggage that Windows carries around.

When we finish, I'll release the full file of WLD. It's humongous.
One of my players is looking forward to that. Last time he ran the game we made it to level 9, and I think I went through 12 characters.

No player deaths yet, but I've gotten a few of them down. It's a WLD Convert to Pathfinder, and I've added in my own few twists into it.

I tend to go through a lot of characters for some reason. Not that I TRY to get them killed off, but I tend to fail saving throws a lot.

Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil the DM threw a Disintegrate at me one encounter since I was the Paladin and only failed on a 2 or lower. Oh look, a 1. I'm dead... again.

Just seemed very saving throw was a fail in WLD.

Pathfinder is what we are playing, so I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's done.
