      Just wondering if SU viewer is 'lighter' on the processor due to reduced functionality?
      Or is SU performance determined solely by model/size complexity - whether in Viewer or full version?

      Context is this:
      I create my models on a Mac Mini:
      | 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo | Geforce 320M | OSX 10.6.5 | SU8)|
      I would like to show them from my old 12" PowerBook:
      | 1.33 GHz G4 | GeForce FX Go5200 | 1.25 GB | OSX 10.5.8 | SU 7.1|

      Will this work/perform acceptably for navigating large models? (It doesn't using full version of SU 7.1)

      Other usage is for clients to download that have varying HW / OS

      Thanks,

      Doug

        My guess would be that OpenGl compatibility matters most.
