Bill, I see you are using Drivewire on a Raspberry Pi.
Just bought a new Raspberry Pi 2.0 Model B 512MB Element 14 Linux System Board (Made in UK)
http://tinyurl.com/odc5z8q  from eBay, originally wanted for Linux. 
Wondering if it would be good enough to run DW4 on it?

I just recently had to revert back to WinXP when the MB on my Quadcore Vista machine failed. It was horrible.. not enough speed, not enough ram... Needless to say, I was glad to get my main machine running again and everything is back up to speed.
