[PCB_FORUM] Re: Is anyone having Allegro crashing issues using SPB 16.1 and laptop computers?

SPB16.0 and SPB16.01 w/ the latest hotfix (ISR) has been pretty stable on
Windows XP64 pro and Vista.

1Gig of memory is enough, but the more the better.

Processors tested:  Intel Centrino Core2 mobile, AMD 64, and VIA C7

CPU Speed:  1.6 GHz+

Video cards tested:  Nvidia, VIA S3, Intel
I didn't enable open GL. 64MB is enough.

VirusScan: Trend Micro has been running very well.
I removed symantec and mcafee which takes a large portion of my memory and
was causing machines to crash.  Also turned of Microsofts additionl security
protection in VIsta.

Always remember to install the latest ISR.

Good luck,
