The 1500 will work amazing well on very low end systems (ATOM processors), but (there is always a caveat) with those systems you have to be mindful of the bloatware that is running on them too (virus checkers, antivirus, programs that "phone home" over the Interweb, etc..) and make sure the 1500 is not connected on the same USB controller as your mouse and/or keyboard, as they will interfere with the isochronous I/Q data flow between the radio and PowerSDR.

When I ran the USB checker program on my Dell laptops, I find 2 different USB hubs. One of them appears to be used for internal purposes - e.g,. hard drive? The other hub is connected to all 3 external USB ports. Hence, there is no chance that one could avoid the same USB hub as used by the Flex-1500.

I suppose an external PCMCIA-style plugin card might be used, with it furnishing another USB hub? I don't know.

The only difference between the 3 external USB ports is the order in which they are presented to the USB hub.
