If the pc doesn't have the ponies, that is entirely possible. As a test, edit your .ini file and double the "base thread" time. If the machine is then usable (it might be slower though) but doesn't freeze, then the pc can have a finger pointed at it. Generally speaking, the intel atom board, with a dual core running at 1400 to 1600 mhz is close to the minimum needed. Single core cpu's don't often run LCNC well enough to be usable.
