whats your spec?
 
I don't have one :P
I'm looking to buy a laptop to use with VDJ and TCV, but i have no idea what is recommended.
 
 
OK thanks. so there is no actual set recommended requirements to be found on the site? there should be some. :P
 
 
thats what i was looking for!
so if its for old versions, should i aim for something above that capacity, and i should be right for TCV?
 
Recommended config in there is ok for TCV use, but you can get better machine for less money now, ram memory is cheap these days etc.
I don't use TCV (yet) but that HP 530 model is up to the task for sure. It is just not for video use.
 
OK thanks, ill look into it. thanks Alf and Sky :)
 
Glad we could help ;)
 
what is missing for video mixing?

You mean in my HP 530? Good video card, it has 950 Intel integrated one which is not that bad, but I think it is not up to the task with bigger files like vob. It might work ok for Divx/Xvid ;)
 
Ok Guys, this is what im being told we can get....



NEC Versa P7200 - 1705DR

Intel Core Duo processor T5300 (1.73 Ghz 2MB L2 Cache 533MHz)
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
1GB DDR2 RAM
120GB HDD 5300RPM
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator <-----(Not too fussed if its crappy or not, im not a video mixer.)
Runs on XP Professional (we dont want Vista)


IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH FOR TCV?

or should i attempt to plead for something more (im not buying it you see :P )???

 
It is ok for TCV, if you can, add another Gb of ram memory as it is very cheap these days ;)
 
I dunno if i can, probably not (something about not in stock or something or other? and everything seems to come with vista nowdays so not much to choose from.... apparently) but i will ask my father ol' chap... :)
 
1Gb is ok for TCV if you gonna use XP, you need more for Vista.
If you can't find XP laptop, try to find one without OS and than take XP Home version if you can.
 
OK! i got the laptop i mentioned with an exta Gig of RAM and XP Pro! sounds like thats good for the job! :) thanks Alf, you are a champ :)
 
No problem, glad you sorted it out ;)
It is hard to find XP laptops these days and Vista is just not ready for all the hardware out there.
