Glen, I'm running RB 2010 on my xmas gift, a Toshiba Satellite L455d Laptop with the powerful state of the art 2.0 Ghz AMD Sempron si-42 processor (/s) from Walmart, rather low end. 32 bit Win7, 2 Gig Ram, 12 Gigs dedicated to ready boost on 2 USB (I actually notice a difference with this amount; didn't with just the 4GB or the 8 alone). I actually like Win 7, and think it's faster than XP on my Dell Desktop with a P4 @2.80 Ghz when running RB. Of course this could be the touted "faster 2010 RB" vs 2008.5 on the Dell. Using the built in Realtek Sound, cuz I don't normally record, just use DXi and Vsti, NI kore player and sets, and the defunct B4's. This laptop seems faster than the one it replaced (died due to power cord being yanked out of the flimsy Acer) that had a faster processor and 4 Gigs ram, running Vista. Not wanting to waste a good HD with an OS, I am searching Dell Refurb for a no OS system with SATA for $100 and a P4 so I can enable dual core emulation. One thing I've done with the new laptop is set up remote control access and am opening up all the SEQ on the dell via the router on the Sat. Microsoft seems to repeat itself. 98, ME, XP / XP, Vista W7, and don't forget Microsoft Bob.

Hope you don't have to ever diagram these sentences.
