Gary I am running Logos Platinum. After adding in additional journals, books and commentaries, that brings me to 2370 resources. Your specs are similar to mine, except I have a built in graphics (dedicated memory is 64MB) card in my laptop, and the bus speed is 800. If I were to load this layout, it took 15 seconds to load the software, and the ESV, having previously loaded it, and runs ok.
You should see a significant increase in speed performance.
Opened the layout displayed, restarted the software, 15 seconds, took another 8 seconds to load the layout. I am running the latest Beta.

Thanks for the encouragement, Lynden, and taking the time to post. I will know in a couple weeks when the laptop arrives...sure hope there is a noticeable difference.
How do I increase the amount of Ram dedicated to the graphics card? I have a total of 4GB. Running Windows 7 64 Bit.
GarryGlaub:It was a huge financial step to buy a new laptop, and from what you said, it won't be good enough to make much of a difference. Man, do you have to be wealthy to use this software?
I meant that it won't make much difference to me, but it will be a definite improvement for you!
The notebook CPU market is moving fast, especially with 2x cheap Core i3 coming to market this year ("dual-core chips clocking at 2.93GHz, the Core i3 will be faster due to the efficiencies of its 32nm Westmere-class design (compared to the Core 2 Duo’s 45nm scale) and also boast superior graphics").
I'm sure you got a good bargain and with Win 7 and 4 GB fast memory you should be well satisfied.

Dave Hooton: I don't think Passage Guide is worth $300! With the standard PG on my laptop (see below) I get c. 30 second times. My customised Passage Guide takes about 15 seconds because I don't need the graphical sections that take the extra time. If I want to see one of those sections then I use the Add button.

If I did upgrade, Logos wouldn't be the only reason (although it would be the primary one.) I have other programs that would benefit as well. With that said though, I hadn't thought of customizing the Passage Guide to remove sections I don't need. I'll give that a try and see if it makes a big difference.
Thanks!
My home computer is intel core 2 quad 2.4 Ghz with 6 Gb ram, Windows 7 64 bit Geoforce 8800GTS 512.
I have a new laptop which is intel core 2 Duo 2.1 Ghz windows 7 32 bit. 4 gb ram, and a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD (unknown memory)
I can say logos 4 runs faster on the home computer than the laptop. But really have no problems using either..
you should have no problem with your new dell!! Enjoy!
Hey Lynden, it would be in setup when you first turn on the computer (probably hit F2 to enter setup at power on). There should be a section called "integrated devices" or "onboard devices" or something similar that should have a setting for changing the amount of video memory.

Oops, I forgot to quote you in my previous reply...sorry about that.

After a few days of dealing with Dell (UGH, as it truly tested my Christian patience, thanks Lord!), I was able to cancel my order, thanks to the interaction of the Better Business Bureau. Dell has an i7 laptop, but after the plethora of lies their customer service department barraged me with, I am hesitant to order from them.
I have found an Acer laptop on line, and a Christian brother who purchased one loves it. Here are the specs, and as Acer doesn't build to spec, I can't change things here. Before I order it, what do you guys think?
Thanks in advance for your experience! Blessings,

I sat at a David Hocking teaching of Ephesians last night with me old laptop, and added notes into LOGOS 3, because my computer is slower than pond water when operating LOGOS 4. Looking forward to getting up to speed and learning the new bells and whistles.
Looks terrific! How much will it cost you? Is the RAM upgradable?
$1350...Can't change the system before it is shipped, but can upgrade RAM on my own. Will I need it?

You are right up there with the latest/best Intel mobile chipset now! It runs 2.8 GHz on a single core out of its 4. Just check you can slip more than 4 GB in there!
Thanks, Dave...I am blessed that there are people like you to answer my questions, as this is certainly not my area of expertise. May God bless you!
Garry Glaub:$1350
I don't suggest you to buy such an expansive computer. I would recommend that you buy at most 750.
One suggestion is this:
4.74 lbs.
But of course you can buy a more expensive model. What I mean is expensive model depreciate very fast. So one would rather replace it frequently (~3years)
The model I want to buy is actually this:
So interesting to see the Logos has actually made us to consider to buy a new computer. I never think that I need a fast computer, before I purchase Logos4.
Kolen. The drive speed is slow. I noticed a big jump if you can get a machine with a 7200 rpm drive
