I am in need of some help! I just upgraded my laptop to 8GB memory and I'm trying to run the student version of 2013. I ran both updates and Revit is still lagging, moving slowly, or just crashing. Here are my computer specs:

I don't know much about computers, but I thought this laptop was a pretty good one when I bought it a year ago. Can someone look at this and please either tell me to stop trying to run Revit with this configuration because it won't support it or-short of buying a brand new computer-give me some suggestions that might help with this problem. Trying to do homework at home and not at school and it's killing...Urgh!
Thank you.
8GB of RAM is actually kinda low...I would upgrade to 16GB if possible or more...
check your graphics card too...make sure it is certified to run revit 2013 and it at least a 1.5 GB card
