Greetings, I'm hoping to increase performance by replacing an older computer, feeling I'm not getting the full benefit of my radio's capabilities. I'm sure anything is better than this seven yr old b
Hi Jim Using a Dell Dimension 2400 here. It's a 2.4 ghz, 256 megs ram and Windows XP. Paid $399 for it, new, with keyboard, monitor, and printer. It works great. Using it with N1MM Logger and MMTTY.
