What computer specs...

Marvin, thanks, but with 2004 I don't think you have much of a gauge on performance, unfortunately for us both. 2006 demands much more power than 2004 ever thought of doing, that much I figured out. I'm going to keep trying some of the larger routes on my "flying-computer" to see how it holds up, then it'll give me an idea of what to shoot for.
I was mainly interested in your experience with the 2600 XT video card, and I'm glad to hear that it's working well.
Thanks for answering and good luck.
You really should get 2006 though, the more I play with it the more I like it, awesome! The CMP (though hard to figure out at first) is a great tool.

My experience is TRS2006 requires no more "power" than TRS2004.

The TRS2006 code is slightly more efficient than TRS2004 so in general you get slightly higher frames per second. The recommended min on the box was raised to a more realistic figure.

Really? That's great. Just goes to show you that the information you get from software producers is SO useless. The information you get from actual users is the only useful measure. Thanks again.

In theory TC1&2 should run even better than TRS2006 but the inverse is true on my computer. This is on a one base board layout I converted to TC. Nor am I impressed with the performance of the built in layouts.
