<DIV>Hi Daniel,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My problem was not really with problems running PD on an 'M', but with performance. I had an Athlon XP 2600 desktop which died. I borrowed some money, bought a Pentium M laptop (and anyway, I don't have a car, so I can do more gigs with this). It's supposed to do something like twice as many instructions per clock, partly due to bigger cache memory on the cpu, so I thought equivalent to a 3GHz P4, but the version of Linux I am using makes it a P3 at the raw clock speed (1.6GHz)... and that is a drag (although my optimistic developer self says "why don't you write more efficient patches") which I will. But.. I will persevere, and test the advice of Frank, Tim and Yves who say that this is a good computer, and "can do".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If it is not, I will sell to a stupid stock-market city trader, and damn the interest rates going up!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But now...I will sleep!<BR>Best,</DIV>
