Is the speed ok that I can use an x-Box and lap top at the same time with out problems?

The speed is good - You should have no problem running multiple hardware @ the same time. It is more a function of the ISP - and how fast their internet connection is.

I have not had any problems with speed use laptop / I-pad while streaming movies thru roku box with no problems. I would make sure your Internet provider speed is acceptable.

I have not had problems using a Roku player and a couple of laptops or tablets at the same time.

I think so, but it also depends on the speed you get from your ISP. With my old G-router (rated at 54 Mbps), I did not realize I only got 7 Mbps wirelessly, so I wasn't taking advantage of the full speed from my ISP. With this new router at home, I only uses 2 computer/laptops at any given time, plus VoIP phone, and I have no problems with bandwidth.

If you are not going to use a super performance graphic card then yes. that would be good enough.

Could be, I'm happy with speed, however install SSD for the operating system which makes it very fast!

i think you can. but i'am not sure. it is better to get a the newer better labtop's to be able to play those kind of game's.

I have one of these set up with standard drives and am able to run two VMs at the same time easily. I assume that SSDs would make it a bit faster though.

Depends on the rest of your hardware. Not enough ram or FSB speed and the core will mean nothing.

Yes and yes. It's a fast machine. But you'll need a graphic's card if you want to play most games. I don't play on mine, but I have a friend that does.

Not really. Games run, but many slow. My client uses it for email and web mostly. Not a gamer.

I set mine up in about 3 hours and have not experienced any problems. Running Windows 7 with heavy business programs and graphics, and no issues. I do use a wireless mouse.

Your machine has a faster processor than mine and mine works fine with XP so you should be good to go. I'd be filling up the RAM slots to the full 2GB if you have not done so already.

You can switch to Windows 7 if you want, but that requires that you have an install disc and it will require that you hunt down compatible drivers otherwise it won't come close to peak performance.
874867
Yes. But if you are looking to support the very latest games, at the highest speeds, then it may not be what you want. It will run them but not as well as the faster machines with very high giga hertz video cards. It is very very good but not the cutting edge now. I hope this helps

Yes this laptop runs fast you just have to wait a few seconds extra but you don't have to worry about it loosing what you were doing. The big thing is just learning how to run Windows 8 but you get a free download manual for that. I haven't had any issues with it sense I have been using it with my gaming or doing the basic document.

It runs great on both of my desktops and they are running Windows 7 and Windows XP so it should be fine for your laptop.

i have been using with my net-top that runs windows 8 and thus far i have not had any issues with incompatibility.

if your desktop has a SATA port you're good. I would get this to run the OS/paging/scratch, and another drive to store your data on. SSD is pretty costly other-wise and this way you can still enjoy the performance gain while maintaining the capacity.

yes, yes, and yes, Not a bad machine at all. I suggest you get the Win 7-64 however and 8 GB RAM. Win 8 is too clunky. Must have been the Win 95 dev team who made that.
