IMO, there seems be tendency, for NFB pros to want

to cut costs. That's reasonable. The laptop that you selected

is good, but just barely good enuff. I'm not talking speed,

but 'screen' resolution.

The BioExplorer is a very robust program, and should be

used with as much screen resolution as possible. That means

a laptop, w/ WSXGA, 1680x1050 pixels, as opposed to

1280x800. I know the ZD8000 is much more expensive,

but it's not as if you have to purchase one every year

Best wishes,

Mark,

The Celeron computer will most likely be underpowered. I have been in

correspondence with another BE user who found her celeron based laptop

inadequate.

The AMD sempron is AMD's competition for the Celeron,

there is reason that these laptops are inexpensive. They do not have a

great deal of computing power. They also most likely do not have

dedicated video processors.

I would recommend that anyone using BE at least meet the minimum specs

that Larry recommends.

Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP

Microsoft's DirectX version 9.0

800 MHz Pentium 3

128 MB RAM

A graphics card with 3D acceleration is required for some displays

A sound card is required for audio output

My old Laptop was a P3 800Mhz 256 ram 32 MB dedicated video ram. Win

98 This handled all the designs I used until I purchased a 4 channel

system., Then I had to upgrade.

My current laptop has p4 1.8GHz 32 mb video 512 MB ram and it handles

anything I throw at it.

Make sure she has a good video card, not an integrated one, ATI and Nvidea are good ones. Cheapo laptops often skimp here and playing a DVD on the second monitor will drive it crazy.POn Jan 30, 2006, at 11:15 PM, Mark Darling wrote:Pete or anyone who can help ... I have a colleague that wants to purchase a laptop suitable for doing neurofeedback using BioExplorer and either BrainMaster or Pocket-Neurobics hardware.

I've used a Toshiba Satellite M35X Series laptop for the past year and I love it. I've never had any problems doing Neurofeedback with Brainmaster 2.0 or 2.5. It's always worked great. It is an Intel Celeron M with a 1500MHz processor, 1.50 GHz, 480MB of RAM. Runs XP version 2002 and has the integrated wireless.

Pete or anyone who can help ...

I have a colleague that wants to purchase a laptop suitable for doing neurofeedback using BioExplorer and either BrainMaster or Pocket-Neurobics hardware. She has been offered cheap deals on the following and I was wondering whether either of these machines would be suitable. She would be using a second monitor for the client.

1. Acer Aspire 3002WLC Notebook PC, AMD Sempron 2800+ 1.6 GHz processor with 1600 MHz front side bus, 256 MB ram, 40 GB HD, 15.4 inch WXGA with CrystalBrite TFT, CD-RW/DVD combo drive, Windows XP Home etc.

2. Toshiba Satellite L20 notebook PC with bonus 256 MB RAM, Intel Celeron M 360 1.4 GHz, 256 + 256 = 512 MB ram, 40 GB HD, 15 inch XGA TFT, integrated wireless and wired networking, DVD/CDRW combo drive, Windows XP Home SP2 etc.

Thanks for any advice.

Mark:

I've tried to run Bio Infinity on several computers I have and discovered that you need a big RAM and a fast processor or things begin to lock up -- especially with the complex reporting tasks I put on the computer. I have settled on minimum specs: < 1 GHz processing speed, at least 1 Gb RAM and a very fast screen card like that for game computers. I have two Gateway laptops with these specs and 80 Gb hard drive and DVD player built in. It will drive an outboard monitor and has 4 USB ports -- just over US$1,000.00. Even with this, one rare occasions, it locks up from overload.

My advice is, if you are going to do EEG, you can't skimp on the computer.
