So the motherboard started going out on my DJ laptop. SUCKY So I went and got a new one. It was a toss up between a HP 8-core processor or a Asus dual core that runs faster. This is the one I got.
Specs:
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.53GHz
Display: Type LED-backlit high-definition plus widescreen (1600 x 900)
Screen Size (Measured Diagonally): 17.3"
System Bus: 1066MHz
Cache Memory: 3MB on die Level 2
System Memory (RAM): 6GB
Type of Memory (RAM): DDR2
Hard Drive Type: SATA (5400 rpm)
Computer Hard Drive Size: 500GB
Optical Drive: Double-layer DVD±RW/CD-RW
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M
Video Memory: 1GB GDDR3 VRAM
Wireless Networking: Wireless-B+G+N
USB 2.0 Ports: 4
IEEE 1394 FireWire Ports: 1
HDMI Output: Yes
Operating System Platform: Windows
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I can't wait to start using this baby for gigs. I have my first one on Friday. I am in the military, Navy, and on base they are setting up a all military DJ spin off contest. Winner gets 75% of the profites made off of admission, a huge trophey, any thing that needs a DJ on base, and bragging rights. Should be pretty good. I will let you know how it goes.

Make sure you give it a good pounding at home first. Take in on at least a 2hr set as if you were playing live, load/unload tracks, etc, etc...
You don't want to get there and find you lose the battle because you didn't test things first...
All the best, good luck, hope you win. Come back and tell us how it went.
Finally you didn't what OS? Is it Windows 7? 64-Bit?
Have you got all the right drivers etc?
Cheers,
Roy

I know. Yesterday, I was able to load VDJ and the RMX on it with no problems. Then I setup automix and let it play for like 5 hours while I was scanning my HD for bpm's, and it started doing a virus scan in the process. I had no prblems at all. Yes, it came with the 64-bit version of Windows 7. I have had it for about a week, and I have had no problems with Win7, and I am starting to like the new GUI.
