squelch 0 Posted March 16, 2008 I just received my new PCut. Five day deliver!!! I must admit, after reading all of these trouble posts, I am questioning my decision to purchase this cutter, but I am going to give it a shot and see how well it works for me. I intend to use a dedicated older Dell laptop with Windows XP, but I haven't been able to find system requirements on either US Cutter or SignBlazer's websites. Is anyone out there using Pentium 3 technology on their PCuts, or will I need to hook it up to a better computer. My computer: 600 mhz P3 256 mb Ram 80 GB HD Just reformatted HD with nothing installed but Windows XP, SignBlazer and AVG Free Antivirus. I may add Illustrator CS2 later, if I find the need.

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 16, 2008 I run mine on a dedicated machine with not much more power and the exact amount of memory. I wouldn't try to use AI at the same time as SignBlazer though. Could work but that's a lot of memory loss. You have nothing to lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted March 16, 2008 Chuck just because there is a good deal of problems posted here doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the machines, most problems here are user related. Also go try to find another forum for any other cutter that has this kind of activity on it, you won't find it. There are so many people here to help you out with your problems, you'll see you didn't go wrong with your purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squelch 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am leaving town for a week, but hope to get it up and running as soon as I get back. I really appreciate how helpful this forum is. Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
