hi Ed
maybe a litlle shuttle pc or mini PC with a little LCD would fit better in your bag and wallet when you hit the road.
best regards daniel .

Hi Daniel,
My problem was not really with problems running PD on an 'M', but with performance. I had an Athlon XP 2600 desktop which died. I borrowed some money, bought a Pentium M laptop (and anyway, I don't have a car, so I can do more gigs with this). It's supposed to do something like twice as many instructions per clock, partly due to bigger cache memory on the cpu, so I thought equivalent to a 3GHz P4, but the version of Linux I am using makes it a P3 at the raw clock speed (1.6GHz)... and that is a drag (although my optimistic developer self says "why don't you write more efficient patches") which I will. But.. I will persevere, and test the advice of Frank, Tim and Yves who say that this is a good computer, and "can do".
If it is not, I will sell to a stupid stock-market city trader, and damn the interest rates going up!
But now...I will sleep! Best, Ed

im on pentium M (855) too on demudi. no problems so far (unless i really want them). and when gfx acceleration is not done in CPU, a good GPU is always a better investment.

This is kind of embarrasing, and [ot] - I should have trusted my instincts rather than the web...(but which bit?)
DON'T buy a Pentium M if you want to run PD under Linux (As I do). If you want a Pentium III (3) you can get one cheaper, but Pentium M under Linux is Pentium 3.
I thought it would be nice if newbies could search and find this...to avoid my mistake, and I should know better!
Anyone want to buy a pentium M? No graphics accelleration? I am a certified fool!...
Huh? What does all that mean?
I run a Pentium M 750 with great success under Linux and Pd. I think, it is a formidable platform. Oh, and graphics acceleration is not done in the CPU anyway.
Ciao
