This, for me, is a dealbreaker when it comes to high end SDRs. They do
require top end computers. They also require frequent updates, and
after enough updates even your (currently top end) computer will again
become obsolete. No thanks.

But I run my Perseus with a Acer netbook. I don't do any recording, but
for listening the Atom processor is sufficient.

A top end computer is not necessarily a requirement.
