>From a performance standpoint, the Intel Pentium M will out perform the Celeron M even with the difference in RAM due to the expanded on chip cache on the Pentium M.
If you use ferrites on the USB cable, then there is no functional difference between it and the parallel port. If the laptops have a Firewire interface, then the Firebox will work OK to as long as this is a single use machine. You will not be able to load up several programs at once with PowerSDR running too. -Tim --- Tim Ellison Integrated Technical Services -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 3:21 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Advice I am sure this has been answered before, but ... I am thinking heavily of getting a SDR1000. I am a CW op (99.9%). I have a choice of two laptops. Which would perform better? 1) Dell Intel Pentium M at 1.6 Ghz w/504 MB ram and without a parallel port ... thus needing the USB to parallel adaptor. OR 2) Dell Celeron M at 1.4 Ghz w/ 1 Gig of ram and with a parallel port. Will either of these be satifactory for CW using the Firebox audio unit. I plan on using a paddle w/ a logikey keyer. Tnx for you input. 73/Crit/K4BXN _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
