One useful thing to check out your PC's readiness for BiaB, is to run a geekbench on it. (free) http://www.primatelabs.com/geekbench/

You'd want a Geekbench score of at least 1,500 to run Biab comfortably. The higher number the better, Most MacBook Airs are going to be around 5,000 or better, so its obviously fast enough to run BiaB! FWIW, I program BiaB Mac on a 5 year old MacBook Pro with a Geekbench of 3,000.


Thank you Peter. it is a shame that I have to bin my PC BiB apps, especially with all the work I have done, has anyone reflected on this?
Kind regards,
Cyo
