Default Re: turn processing times

Depends a bit. More memory and a faster processor would do the trick. Also, I suggest you play games that do not include the great freespawn nations R'lyeh and Ermor in the LA, because the number of units on the map increases processing time. You can also use the Better Independents mod to eliminate a lot of the AI chaff hordes.

A fast CPU and fast memory would help a lot.

A supercomputer running Windows XP, now that is something that does not compute.

Oh, and I want the second computer.

I should go for the CPU first. Also, I did not say that you need more memory (it won't do much), I said you need faster memory.
