[slinkelist] Thoughts on hardware requirements for CDJ/Slink-e

[Ken Geoffrion]

I'm running 800x600 with 256 colors on a 486-66 that I wasn't using for 
anything.  In my opinion, it's a barely adequate speed and screen size for 
CDJ.

Most of my covers look okay (not great) with only 256 colors, some look 
pretty poor.

The 486/75 laptop I have in mind is limited to 640x480 standard VGA
resolution for 256 or 16m colors, or if I go to 800x600, I am limited to 16 
colors.  I would like to load cover images, so I thing 16 colors
won't work for me.  256 might be adequate.

Not having run CDJ, can anyone tell me if I would end up scrolling
up/down - left/right excessively if I run on 640x480?

Thanks.
