My ASUS Eee (netbook) is a first-generation one with an Intel Celeron-M processor running at around 700MHz. The newer Eee's use an Atom processor that might run cooler -- the processor in mine is rated for 900MHz but Asus underclocked it (maybe because of heat issues -- it didn't help). Unfortunately lots of newer laptops seem to be running hotter than their weaker ancestors. -Court On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 7:19 PM, Piano Boutique <pianoboutique at comcast.net>wrote: > Court, > > What kind of computer and processor card do you have? > > William > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* Court Stewart <calexste at gmail.com> > *To:* pianotech at ptg.org > *Sent:* Tuesday, July 28, 2009 5:44 PM > *Subject:* Re: [pianotech] Verituner > > I had been planning on switching to my netbook (Asus EEE 701) to run > Tunelab (I'm currently using a PocketPC).
