1.7 mhz for copying dvd

[Guest]

Is a 1.7mhz laptop fast enough to copy dvd's using dvdshrink or similar
programs. or is this task best left to the desktops ?

Thanks,
Chris

1.7MHZ - what CPU? Pentium M? Pentium 4? AMD? Makes a big difference.

Works fine on my 1.4Ghz Centrino notebook... You did mean Ghz, not mhz, right?

Speaking of MHz and GHz I just had a flashback of my first PC (XT) which was
4.77 MHz, unless you pushed the turbo button which would get you to an
amazing 10 MHz of clock speed. And also our new hard drive boasted 30 MB of
storage. It was just unconceivable to think that such a tremendous space
would ever be able to be filled up.

A lot of us remember, further back than that... For example,
the Radio Shack TRS-80.

I'm not even sure the damn thing *had* a clock speed! <g>

Haha. In my highschool we had to program in basic in TRS80s. Those with the
keyboard integrated to the monitor.
They use to run basic from the start, and there were ones with 4KB ram, 8 KB
ram, 16 KB ram and 32 kb ram, with no storage media whatsoever (I guess you
could have used a tape). Well, and there was the MAIN computer, the
teacher's one which features TWO 5 1/4 diskette drives. That was good
because you could save your program instead of having to retype it every
time you came in.

1.7mhz????? No, it's not fast enough. Even my 1976 Imsai 8080 was 2.0 MHz.

[you mean GHz, presumably. 1.7GHz is fast enough. Not 1.7MHz]

I upgraded the hard drive of my TRS-80 to 10 MB. I put all the programs and files
from my floppies onto it and barely used any capacity.

On my website is details of a Honeywell System 8 minicomputer I had, with a 4.9 MB
hard drive.

0.9, 1.7, 4, or 16, depending on the model.

I upgraded the hard drive of my TRS-80 to 10 MB. I put all the
programs and files from my floppies onto it and barely used any
capacity.

In the early 90's, I backed up all of my Commodore VIC-20 software
all on a single 3.5 inch 720KB floppy. Too bad I didn't have (nor
did they make) a Commodore 1581 disk drive back in '81.




Cheers!
