Forum: Old versions

Topic: info to purchase

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have a toshiba satelite laptop( centrino 1,86 ghz), with 1,5 gb memory.
I want to mix mpeg videos.
I tried the virtual dj trial version with hecules mk2 and the image without acelerator was too slow and with acelerator had a green mark on the screen.

I need to know :
Is my computer able to run videos or I will need a better one?
is 1,5gb memory enough?
witch is the best console to play with?
witch version of virtual dj is better to play videos perfectly in my setup?

thanks
Levy

what video card do you have?
 
I use the one that comes with the computer. is the onboard ( mobile intel(r) 915gm/gms, 910 gml express chipset family
 
that will not be able to video mix you

should get a dedicated graphics card of 256mb or greater ,

it would be hard to change that so a new laptop may be in order

 
My laptop is quite new, Ill have a hard time trying to sell and buy another one.
is there a possibilyty to use my laptop with one usb graphic card?

 
that ufortunately is extremely expensive and transfer rates arnt usualy fast enough.

laptops will intel cards are usaly designed for office enviroements

so unfortunately you will need a new one for video mixing

or perhaps you should investigate the posiblity of using a racmount pc or a micro tower pc which would be cheaper
 
what configuration my next laptop should have to suport video mixing with virtual dj ?
anyway, thanks for your help
:-)
 
Dual Core 2 GhZ CPU
dual output ATI or nVidia video card with 256mb of on-board memory (no integrated laptop videocard)
2048 MB RAM
