Ruben, I am using a Sony Lap top, VAIO model VGN-FS760, going on 3 years old. The CPU is a Pentium M processor running at 1.862 MHz, and I have 1.5 GB RAM. I don't know what a Pentium M is, but it is not one with dual CPUs. I think it is the lap top version of the Premium 4. I have a SDR-1000 with a FireWire Sound card, and it runs the same software as the Flex-5000. The CPU is running at 20%. No problems on the display. In fact, I am running dual displays, both at 1024 X 764 resolution with 32 bit color, which is fine for the PowerSDR. The version I am running is Beta v1.10.3 SVN 1602. The display chips are the NVIDA Ge Force Go 6400 which are fine for ordinary work, but not fast enough for some of the video games.
I would not be concerned about the display at all. When I added 1 GHz ram to the 500K the computer came with, the CPU percentage went down from about 36% to 20%. So the 2 GHz you have is more than adequate. 73, Chas W1CG At 05:01 PM 9/22/2007, Ruben Navarro Huedo wrote: >Thank's Neal for your answer. >The laptop has 2gb of RAM. >Graphic card needs 128mb of RAM for the resolution below. >Resolution is 1280x800 >Screen is 14" , but i like little laptops. > >Thank's 4 your advice. > >Neal Campbell escribió: > > The two considerations I would have are: > > 1. what resolution can the laptop show (how big is the screen)? > > 2. how much memory does it "steal" from the cpu? > > > > The resolution is important to me because it dictates how much display > > I can get on the panadapter.
