Hi,
I am considering a second hand MPB (1000 EUR) running Resolume 3 I purchased.
Is it "strong" enough for mapping with 2 projectors live?
Specifications :
Procesor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memorija: 4 GB DDR3
Hard disk: 500 GB
Grafika: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB
Monitor: 17-inch (1920 x 1200)
Thanks,
Luka

Re: Laptop for Resolume Mapping
My second MBP has exactly that spec (okay, it's the 15" not the 17", but all other components are the same).
Check to see which HD is in the machine, most of that generation of MBP came with a 5400rpm drive which you will want to replace immediately with either a 7200rpm drive or SSD.
...and as long as you've got the machine open, doubling the RAM should cost you less than 100 euros. I made those two changes to my machine and found an enormous difference.
It does start to slow down at high resolutions (2048x768 is fine, 3096x768 starts to chug a little).
