wazza Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 yes... will be ok for most d.j software + midi controller...I ran a ASUS 2.4 P4 running XP pro with 1 gig of ram for a long time ( 4 years ) before I got my new HP i5 you will need to tune your XP for audiomight need to up-grade your RAM to 2 gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dim Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 yer man, I still use a 1.8ghz processor with traktor scratch pro, timecode on cds and a midi controller for fx control.2gb ram is a good idea but thats a well ez cheap fix you can diy.chk the system requirements for the specific software you're thinking of buying of course.and do wazza's tune for audio too:link: http://www.ausdjforums.com/modules.php? ... pic&t=5026 big up wazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranga97 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 ok cool.Could I just increase the virtual memory to 1.5gb so total memory is 2.5gb?O and i could delete nearly all the software for like internet related issues (antivirus) coz I will not be using internet on it.So running the system nearly completely barebones except for the dj software and the music.

dim Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 i dont know about virtual memory mate. IMO you cant beat a nice PCB of hardware of RAM.I wouldnt lose all the internet stuff tho, you'll still want to do updates. Just disable the wifi adaptor in device manager and turn the internbet security shit off when you dont need it.chk the link from wazza above mate.

tubby Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 got a crappy old ibm R52 laptop here, so bad it was chucked out at my old job. pentium M, 1.86GHz. 2gb ram on XP. Only really used for my kids reading games and TSP. handles trakor just fine. I did get some crap on it that slowed everything down, just restored O/S to a couple of months ago sagve point and it runs nicely again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome88 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 as everyone else said, should be fine.... only thing that might need an upgrade would be the RAM to speed it up a bit, but RAM is cheap and pretty sure you just open up the tower and put it in.
