I use a double monitor setup - 1280x1024 and 1650x1050 and it is quite adequate. If I were to replace a monitor now, I'd consider a 2650 x 1440. For memory, all my machines are 4GB (old machines) and their chips run at about 4000 Bogomips per core (2 core CPUs). The major manifestation of slow CPUs will be long compile times; editing is OK if you keep the number of concurrent processes low (IDE code editor, email and Browser would be ny typical setup, running on Xubuntu 15.10) -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
