i have a dell 1.5 ghz celeron 256 meg ram, ssl works fine.
i think it's like a 2600 or something, i know it's older, it has a freakin celeron, but it does everything i need it do and ssl runs fine, i run the usb buffer a little high, but i dont scratch at all so it doesnt bother me at all.

cool, thanks for the heads up josh! yeah, my main concern was the reliability of ssl while playing a 3-4hr set. i had final scratch before running it on XP, but it would freeze up anywhere between 20min-2hrs into a set =( thanks again!

oh, another question joshua.... have you ran SSL on your Dell for a live set? what was the longest you played for? has it ever frozed up or crashed on you?? thanks again!

well, i'm just a bedroom dj, so no, not in a live club environment.
but i have used it for over an hour with no problems, and my monitors get pretty loud i guess.

I have a Dell 5150 3.06ghz 512ram. SSL works perfect!! Im in a 1500 capacity night club Thursday and Saturday night. I use it Friday on a 4 hour radio show.

I'VE NEVER HAD ONE PROBLEM.....
