I built an i7-860 machine running 64-bit Win7 Ultimate in December for my
5000A. In addition to PowerSDR, Ham Radio Deluxe, DDUtil, a couple of web
browsers (with lots of tabs open), a VNC connection to my Linux machine and
WSJT for meteor scatter and moonbounce digital modes, I am also running
custom antenna optimization software that I wrote. My antenna program runs
eight floating point intensive simulations in parallel (using hyperthreading
on all four processor cores). I have this running sometimes while I'm
listening to the radio and I've never even heard a glitch in the PowerSDR
audio.
Your mileage may vary, but I think you'll be very happy with the performance
of a Core i7 machine running PowerSDR.

Subject: [Flexradio] Multitasking while running 5000A--or dedicated
computer?
I'm planning the purchase of a 5000A.
I'm also going to purchase a new computer--probably a Core i7 machine with
a
fast video card and two monitors.
I'm used to having a logging program running (DXLab Suite), and some
Internet windows open.
Can you run a 5000A with these other things going on at the same time?
What is your experience in this regard?
Thanks,
Dan - W4TQ
