Older laptops in this case... 1.6ghz - 2.2ghz dual

results?
That should be more than enough horsepower for the task...
Does the lightweight WM or DT really give me anymore
power to do something useful??
My experiences have definitely been consistent with this, though I haven't
used anything besides Fluxbox in ages.
If at all possible, swap out the hard drive with a SSD. Most laptop
drives are not chosen for performance, so 5200RPM drives are real common
and the less performant the drive, the harder the system works to keep
up with everything while recording.
