It would only be a tad underpowered though? It would be nice to crack down on the meaning of this error

Cant learn Houdini because of constant crashing April 20, 2012, 5:48 a.m.

I really want to learn Houdini! I'm trying to follow along with the 3D Buzz Houdini fundermentals but cant progress any further because Houdini is being an absolute bitch to me.

1. Every time I downloaded it, no matter what computer, it would fail at 20mb and come out corrupt. I dont even know how eventually did download it.
2. Installation locked up my computer completly multiply times. I have to leave the computer running over night with everything quit except for the installer.

Now 3. I have to deal with this frequent crashing.

I just want to learn how to use Houdini, someone, help *sad face*
