Jeff, I built up a small, but hopefully independent, computer to run the Flex. My main machine that was doing the job before was a 2.8 G P4 with 512 MB and I also had CPU utilization figures in the single digits (5-8%). I never had any performance issues with it. The new box is a 2.4 G P4 with

I, like Larry, built up a new computer just for the SDR. I used the video that was on the mother board. It went from 5-10% on my old machine to 20-30% on my new machine. I then put in a $90 video card (don't remember the name of the card) in the new computer and the CPU dropped to 5-10%.

Jeff, Normal. As I mentioned before, I have a 1.8 GHz lap top with 12 MB RAM and it ran 20 to 30 % CPU and about once a minute, it would peak at 100% in which case the SDR display would freeze. I upgraded to 1.5G RAM and it runs 10 to 20 % and never peaks above about 50%. 73, Chas W1CG At

When my wife picked up a new laptop, I looked specifically for one that had a separate graphics card. It is relatively easy to identify these laptops. In most laps, the memory will not be 1 Gbyte, but something smaller like 900 Mbyte. This is because the video memory is shred with the

And that 25% is average over the measuring period it could have gone way high for short periods, if its at the wrong time you drop audio. So to prevent that most people like to see those numbers as low as possible. At 04:32 PM 2/8/2007, you wrote: Unless I am missing something here, if I am
