Very likely. There is no work-around because it's a hardware/BIOS issue, not software. Buying a new laptop mail-order for use with EMC is a very bad idea in my opinion. If you can, take a live CD to a local used-computers-and-stuff shop and boot their dirt-cheap P3 systems until you find one that gives good latency results. Then run EMC/AXIS and see if the machine has working OpenGL. If you are near an AP (you will be, if they sell laptops with wireless), see if that works. Bonus: parallel ports galore. If you find one, fill it with as much RAM as it will handle and it'll be plenty fast enough for EMC. My local shop had no problem with me testing machines for Linux compatibility this way. You will almost certainly not find a realtime-capable laptop by chance. You must test them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
