I've read the FAQ on lap top requirements and suggestions, and the system requirements for VDL 2.5.
The VDL systemt requirements say pentium 4 2.4 ghz. I want to know how that compares to a centrino core 2 duo 1.66 ghz. I have looked both on the forum and google trying to find a comparison between the two but haven't been able to find anything beneficial. Will I be able to run VDL on the centrino C2D 1.66? I will be running this on Windows 7 once I upgrade my machine a bit. I will be getting a 7200 RPM HD and more RAM. Also, if it will run on the centrino how much RAM should I get? I was thinking in the neighborhood of 4 or 6 gigs.
If you're wanting to utilize all of your RAM, in the long run you need to make sure you're getting the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Otherwise, I believe the limit it 2.5 GB or something like that. If you won't be loading that many sounds, then you won't have much to worry about in those regards.
I don't know much about the Centrino processors, but I'm sure someone else will be able to chime in and help you out there.

Any core 2 duo computer will be fine with 4 GB of RAM. That can handle a full pit + battery worth of samples. Even 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo is significantly faster than a Pentium 4.
32-bit limits to 3.5 GB, which is still enough for most people.

Thanks for the correction, that's what I meant.

i felt that was the case (c2d being faster than pentium 4) but I just wasnt sure. And yes I absolutely plan on getting the 64bit OS. Thanks for the help!
