[amayausers] Re: What PC is needed to run Amaya XT?

I've had techs up here twice working on my versacamm printer/ 
cutter...and they ALL use a laptop to run the system during testing  
and all that. And the operating program for THAT baby calls for  
minimum ONE GIG OF RAM to operate. I tried it on a computer with 636  
(had some extra chips in it) and if we touched any key while printing- 
it would screw up! So we just boosted that one to 1 gig, bought  
another with 2 gig and THAT works fine.
But I need 1 computer just for the graphic program alone-can't tie up  
1 with designing AND printing...
Go for the ram-all you can stuff into your computer-it IS cheap and  
usually a top notch computer supplier will throw in FREE ram upgrades.
