Roycol uk.

when considering useing a particular pc configuration ;
cpubenchmark.net is your friend imho.
ie google cpubenchmark.net plus processor id.
in this case "cpubenchmark.net i3 2310m"
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-2310M+%40+2.10GHz&id=756
if you notice the avg cpu mark on that processor is rather low.
at around 1177.
i usually recommend a minimum cpu rateing of 5000 for daw work , and if wanting high trak counts and plug in counts, and useing advanced heavy duty sample libraries much much higher rateing.
(read some of the music computer threads on gearslutz.com if you doubt what i'm saying. many people on there have been through the "choosing the right computer config issue" from small project studios up to the big studios.)

is this i3 also on the net ?
i recommend not to do that. and before someone disagrees with me. FINE !
but i stand firm by that assertion. once again roy , if you doubt me go and do your own research on forums like gearslutz and recording.org and ask seasoned studio owners bout this topic.
(it baffles me when , years ago , it was a given that one kept ones recording computer off the net. now the new generation of project studios are back to doing it.)
read some of my threads on pg here roy where i suggest refurb computer configs that will cost you 400 pounds total max in your money.
eg refurb hp z workstations stuffed with ram and ssd's.

anyhoo.
best

ps i went to uni in uk. and support a certain footie team that is currently surprising everyone near the top of the premier league. i'm ecstatic. lol.
a clue is "bubbles". lol.
