What do I need to upgrade?

I want to upgrade my computer for Universe Sandbox, but don't really know what... (I'm new to upgrading computers)

Any tips?

Windows 7 64-bit
AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor (4cpu's) 3.00Ghz
RAM: 6G
ATI HD5450 1GB ASUS

Get a AM3 board and the Phenom II x6 1100T.  3.3ghz on SIX cores. The would run US2 like a hot knife through butter.

Ok, I'll check those.

Any information on when the multiple processor's option will be completed?

It looks like your computer is already in good shape already. Tocooljim's suggestion would probably only offer a minor (and perhaps unnoticeable) improvement over your current setup.

I will be commenting more on this in the next month.

Thanks for the heads up (If that's right, English isn't my native language)

My computer can handle dust multiplier set to 2,1 but 2.5 is just to much. Anyway I can increase this a bit? Or is the cost/performance increase ratio that bad.

You can set the dust multiplier to a value that no current computer can process in real time. You're welcome to set it to any value you want. :)
