I run CDJ/Slink-e on a 486/75 laptop having only a 380 M hard drive and =
32 MB of memory, and Windows 95A. No problems. I don't have disk space =
for MP3's, of course, but I think I want to store those on a removable =
media anyway, so I can migrate to other computers.
Actually, I think a laptop is the preferred platform for CDJ, because it =
will have extensive sleep functions that will allow you to just leave =
the computer on all of the time, which I consider necessary since you =
don't want to wait for a computer to boot and then for CDJ to initialize =
just to listen to music. We're all spoiled by the embedded processor =
systems in CD players and changers; we expect to have immediate music!
