Re: Thinking about Running SW on a laptop computer

Aug 22, 2004 1 Replies

I just got a Dell M60 last week and so far I am EXTREMELY pleased with it! My system has the Pentium M 1.8Ghz, 1 gig of RAM, and the QuadroFX 1000 video card with 128mb of onboard memory.



I absolutely runs rings around my old P4 1.7ghz Quadro4 750 system.



Based on it's performance so far, I would recommend it to anyone who needs a portable workstation!

Has anyone out there done this? I'm planning to do a lot of consulting work.

1.5 Gb of RAM , 60Gb of HDD... ATI FireGL T-2 Works like a charm... with little aid of Windows Update, you can get the RealView working also (alltough SW shows it does not support RW)

Pentium M processor is really THE processor for SW work.. This Laptop outruns our desktop Machines 6-0
