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. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, KV9U <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you use Multipsk along with DXLab, it can act as the CAT control for > MultiPSK and much more depending upon which modules you select.
