Mathematica will run on XP, SP3, the box says. It prefers a 64-bit OS on
Macs. I have no idea how fast it will run on obsolete gear and OS, though.


The requirements are for the user interface, not the math.


I had no idea you were the rec.boats maven on Mathematica. So, you must
be aware that on a computer running 12 processing cores at 2.4GHz and
one running a quad-core processor at 3.2GHz, the 12 core machine was
twice as fast on a standard benchmark. Must be the user interface, eh?

Gregg, you crack me up. They call *me* Mr. Luddite. What kind of
games do you play on your home-builts ... "Asteroids" by Atari?

I just understand that "math" is one of the least intensive things we
do on computers. A no name MP3 player uses more computing power than
it took to do the computations to land on the moon. I have been in
this business for 40 years and I know the most successful operators
always ran at least a generation of software off the bleeding edge.
Pioneers get all the arrows.

Harry just wants the newest thing so he can brag about it.
XP is far from an antique, as are the machines I am running it on.
I read today in one of the IBM groups that over 30% of the x86
platforms are still running XP.

If it works, why **** with it?

I like my XP. Can see no reason to change. I really can't see why knocking 25% off the time it takes
to bootleg a DVD would be important, unless one was mass producing them to send to Belarus.

You and Greggster are completely retired, and have nothing on your hands
but time to fill and need an endless number of hobbies to fill it, and,
in your case, your computer use is limited to web browsing, email, and
usenet. An iPhone would serve your computer needs.

You could be ripping DVDs while you are blathering here. What is your
rush?


Amen.

And you are so busy with speech contracts, you have to fill your time
ripping (off) DVD's.
