They need to make it like Porsche's current configurator. That'd be awesome.

It´s simply not meant to be...

I think my boyfriend said it was my video or sound card or something. I don't understand though because my computer is like 4 years old and when i got it it had like top of the line everything. It's really fast still and all of the games I have for it work fine.

I think this new configurator is borrowed from Mini, only the BMW one doesn't show every option you choose.

You need to use IE, Firefox doesn't work well.

I've tried using IE also. Let me just say that yeah it is nice to have a super fancy website, but it really doesn't help when even people with fairly recent computers can't view it.

If you're SERIOUSLY thinking about purchasing a Porsche, I'm sure you'll have a good computer. Four years is ancient for a computer.

The computer I'm using right now was top of the line four years ago as well, and it runs everything fine.

Have you updated everything? I doubt it's your video or sound card. I've run the configurator on my high school's ultra old PCs. All of their software is up to date though.

The average new computers are quick, they're equal, if not better than yours or mine.

Varies, depending upon the size of the ass. Just like a handfull is more for people with really big hands.
