I have pd 0.39.0 running at home on a Pentium MMX 200MHz machine under linux. I run it like "sudo pd -rt" for best performance. I don't try to process video but midi and sound work fine. Any machine will max out eventually if your patches get too big, and anyway, having limited resources is good discipline... Martin

i'm new to Pd, and am really anxious to dig deep on it, but my laptop is fritzing out and needs repair. was considering using another machine temporarily... in ya'lls experience what's the minimum suggested hardware for Pd? would it run ok on an old pentium II? i'd like to just pick up an old machine at the goodwill or on ebay, but dont want to waste my time if Pd is CPU-intensive.
thanks!
