Hi Connie, as you say, this will not be your main machine so your
specs should be OK for EQing - memory upgrade is definitely something
to consider unless you use an external storage device for designs,
etc. once you have built up your libraries. cd-rom drive and sound
card are also required plus monitor resolution of 1068x??? or
greater. If you are planning to use a lot of photos in your designs,
that will use up a lot of available space on your computer but
otherwise, just keep a check on properties for the system to know if
it causing your laptop to slow down to much. jennellh (change the

Hi ya'll!
I was just wondering what systems ya'll have ... how powerful a
processor, amount of RAM, etc ... EQ's site doesn't give much info on
that sort of thing - only that you need XP to run it 700Mbs of hard
drive space.
I've got a Mac and VPC to so I *could* run it on my Mac if I REALLY
want to - but I don't. I think it'd be too hoggy on the resources ....
So I've bought a PC laptop (thinking that way, I can check my e-mail on
the road, or just out of my home office - be really nice to sit outside
and design!!!) ... it's used, since I'm not looking for it to be my
"main machine" - Gateway, WinXP, 1GHz, 20 GBs hard drive, 256 RAM
(though I'll update THAT for sure!).
Do ya'll think that'll be enough??? Or did I just make a big boo-boo
and go too skimpy on the specs (since I've already bought it!)???
<crossing fingers>
(Since I don't want to have mod it before I can use it with EQ6!!!)
