Really you could buy 2GB PC8500 RAM 4 years ago for $40? Hardware has increased in performance and decreased in price a great deal in 4 years. A good bit of emphasis in just the past year has been towards power consumption reduction and making machines quieter. I know my newer machines handle decoding and encoding much faster than my older machines. However if you have a decent machine bought within the last couple of years and it is having issues running SC, then I strongly recommend you isolate the problem because that is not the norm and something is not right. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
