Awesome! Thanks for the info. I don't think I'm using the fft filters, so I'll give that a shot. Tom On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 12:05 PM, Eric Blossom wrote: > On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 08:26:18AM -0400, Tom Lutz wrote: >> This may be a somewhat banal question, but what would be the optimal >> hard

This may be a somewhat banal question, but what would be the optimal hardware/software configuration needed to leverage the power of gnuradio? Core i7 versus Core2 Duo versus Other (maybe cell)? 64-bit Linux versus 32? Any hardware acceleration/DSP cards? Amount/type of RAM? While running some fl
