What are the specs on this machine?  I run on a 1.6GHz laptop with 1GB 
of RAM and a 5400 RPM drive and I get acceptable performance, but 
nothing to write home about.

On my new laptop with 2.4GHz dual-core and 3GB of RAM with a 7200 RPM 
disk drive, RDi-SOA screams; it's nearly as fast as my 3GHz desktop (but 
not quite).

The interesting thing is that neither machine cost that much.  My 
desktop was $700, including 10K Raptor drive, and my laptop was around 
$1100.  You say time is money - then you ought to be spending money once 
on your hardware to save you time every day you use it.

But perhaps I just view things differently.
