Re: Re: Laptop suggestion ? (Colin Williams)

Patrick,

I have seen very mixed performance from WDSC on different systems.

I can run WDSC on my Athlon 700 with 512Mb of Ram, and still get good
performance, but other people who have tried to run it with 512Mb get poor
performance. Problem is that every PC is different!
