best cpu setup?

What is the PC's specs for Ram and processor and also How many lights are you running at full blast? what version date of what program are you using?
All good info to have. Thanks.
Sincerely,

I have windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on an HP with 4 gb of RAM and an AMD Athlon 2 X2 245e processor at 2.9 GHz. I have the newest Compu Show on the main page.

also, I am running 8 Platinum Spots, OctoStrip2 ( all 8), and 8 Slimpar Pro RGBA with the midicon connected

That should be fine for what your have and are using. but if you are using the Jan 18th release that one is a older release. Here is a link to a June 30th release: http://db.tt/W3dvxP6
Or I have a beta from July 7th if you want.
Sincerely,

what are the differences with the new beta? im d/ling the link now

Aboit a weeks worth of bug fixes and ensuring new functions work properly. Up to you. Thr beta would be a separate install amuses so you could simply copy your file and use it in the beta as it installs as compu show beta and not just compu show.
Sincerely,

nice. then id love to have that as well. thanks.

July 7th beta: http://db.tt/sxn5mpo
Let me know if you have any questions. Or need any help.

It's not always about the speed, alot of new laptops install a lot of junk that is not needed, and worse it is set to start everytime you start your pc. Try going to Start> and in the "Search Programs and Files" Box and type MSCONFIG then enter. Go to the "Startup" tab. Uncheck all the items you don't need (This is reversible just check the items you want to re-enable). I usually even uncheck my antivirus and such as that slows down or takes up a lot of resources. You pc will even boot up faster with the least amount of programs running in the background.
