DVD Workshop on laptops?

[simmerheli]

Hi:

I have a laptop that has a 2GHz Pentium M Processor.
Does anyone know if DVD Workshop will run OK on a laptop with this processor?

Laptop specs:
2GHz Pentium M
1Gig RAM
ATI Radeon 9700 128Meg
60Gig 7200 RPM Harddrive.

Thanks

I would expect it to run fine -- I've got a buddy who runs it on a P-III 700 laptop. The bottleneck is going to be when you go to burn the project. Larger projects will need alot of hard drive activity (unless you have multiple hard drives using USB 2.0 or Firewire drives).

I was a bit concerned that this processor is a Pentium M, not a Pentium P4.

I guess I don't quite know yet what the differeneces are betweent the Pentium M and P4 processor lines.

Does anyone know?

Thanks

Your system spec should run DVD WorkShop properly.

As I know, Pentium M (Centrino) is a little faster than Pentium 4 if compared at the same Hz, but it does not have Hyper-Threading technology, which Pentium 4 will have.

Pentium M have better power management architecture than Pentium 4, for it's for mobile system.

According to the information stated in Ulead website ( http://www.ulead.com/dws/sysreq.htm ), I think the CPU and the hard disk of your laptop are good enough for DVD WorkShop.

Hope this helps.

I have a IBM Thinkpad w/ P4M 1.8ghz 512gigmem and DVD/CD burner. I works fine. Not as fast as my tower system P4ht 3ghz & 1gigmem, but it gives accetable performance for being on the road.
