DXLab applications are more sensitive to operating system than
processor performance. Members of the Windows 9X family will limit
the number of applications that can be simultaneously run. This
family suffers from an architectural kernel defect that forces all
applications to share a fixed pool of resources. Some members of the
family, notably Windows ME, compound the problem by becoming
progressively unstable as the pool is consumed.
Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Vista are based on a later kernel that
eliminates the fixed pool. Using these versions of Windows, there
are DXLab users running the full suite on ~400 mHz processors.
That said, digital mode applications can be consumptive of CPU
cycles. Enabling PSK broadband decoding and callsign extraction in
WinWarbler, for example, can consume an incremental 20% of a 1.5 gHz
CPU.
