To answer your question, I assume you are going to run some flavor of Windows on your new laptop.
Laptop hard drives are slow compared to their desktop counterparts. In order to reduce the possibility of extensively using the swap file, get the extra RAM. It isn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things and you will always find a way to consume it. With several applications running, you will probably only use 256 - 384 MB during normal operation unless you are loading a lot of large database tables into RAM . -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee A Crocker Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 8:32 PM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Pentium M Thanks for the response. I haven't bought the notebook yet so I can't test it. The processor is a Intel pentium 4 mobile 3.06ghz with hyperthreading. Its number is 532. I looked it up on the Intel site but I couldn't see a timing spec. I presume since it has hyperthreading it must have a high precision timer. Also how much memory is enough for good performance? 512mb? 1gb? thanks Lee _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
