HI Don,
I did recently purchase a new laptop computer. I am still trying to use
this one though and my vid editing software is on this computer. I did find
my manual for this computer I have in "My Docs". I am looking at the specs
page. What would you ened to know? I will also see if I can find specs on
my old computer, not sure yet but might be able to. It was a VPR Matrix.
The Dell I am using now is about five years old. The other computer is
older but I had purchased a newer sound card later after buying it and I had
a special order for a vid card I wanted at the time it was custom built. I
have to search for the specs for that computer. I have upgraded memory
though on my Dell so that spec will be off.
christy
