Customer Reviews:
Resource Hog, 2008-10-04 I've used Quicken for at least a decade. I was forced to upgrade from Quicken 2005 because Intuit nukes the online banking feature in older versions. It left me little choice as I've become dependent on online banking. There was a rebate on 2008 so it was cheaper than an older version, plus I can expect that this version will nuke itself in three to four years as well and I want the most for my dollar.
I'm running a 3ghz dual core machine with 4gb of ram and a 512mb video card and this program is slow. Every entry is followed by flashing screen as the application updates the calculations. Textured graphics and other wasted "features" fill the screen in some misguided attempt to make Quicken appear to be more than what it is, accounting software.
Intuit has me and they probably know it. I'm not at all interested in going through the hassles of transferring to a new system, so when this version decides to self-destruct I'll be there at the checkout again with the latest and greatest bloatware offering from Intuit.
I can only imagine how horrible this software is for older computers.
My advice is to avoid using Quicken at all, because once you're in it will be difficult to get out.
