I have an 11th cousin – OK quit laughing folks – who has a presence on Ancestry.com with a tree of over 8,000 folks and a multitude of media items. While she is a Mac user at heart, but owns a Windows PC notebook and FTM 2010. Her notebook is 2 years old and moderately low powered, but with 3 MB of RAM and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit – and here *I* thought one HAD to have 4 MB of RAM to get 64 bit mode to work. What we want to do is download the entire collection of names/dates/places/relationships/notes/sources/etc and also all of the media, still associated with the correct individual. Suggestions on how to do what she needs would be welcomed. FTM 16 fits in because with a low powered notebook, using FTM 2010 or FTM 2012 might not be an acceptable option for this “visual” person. My thought would be to port the entire tree over to FTM 16 to get her the speed she desires. Thanks for any and all help. John Okerson Memphis, TN

With Windows 7 64 bit and 3 Gigs of RAM, is NOT a low powered NetBook. Most low powered NetBooks have Windows 7 32 bit Starter, and only 1 Gig of RAM. The 32 bit can handle 'Up to" 3 1/2 Gigs and the 64 bit can go as high as your bank account will allow. Yes, I have seen some 64 bit machines with only 1 Gig on them. I have run 2012 on a LOW powered NetBook, with Starter and 1 Gig of RAM, it was slow but it did work. So since they have a Windows 7 Pro and 3 Gigs of RAM you should NOT have issues. Sounds like 2012 is going to be your best bet.
