Yes I might try that Smile

Won't the shop assistant raise a quizzical eyebrow, in response to "do you mind if I run LL in the live environment off your demo machine in the shop window"?

I'd love that, but I'm afraid it's a bit outside of my price bracket! Something like an i5, or an AMD equivalent (whatever that would be), would be closer to home. Anyway my gaming needs are pretty modest, the ocassional burst of Supertuxkart for me, and Roblox for my young daughter

Many thanks for the link though - looks useful & reasonably priced for custom made machines 8)

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
