I.e. I can do 5-10 times more processing than my old WinXP single core lappy or desktop! My old lappy was starting to groan handling everything that goes on during an observing session too. Anyway, bigger and faster computers are a fact of life like death and taxes!

Gotta agree with Marcus. CCD Stack also flies with very large stacks. PS 64bits is great and doing mosaic I just love the extra RAM. I have 24GB right now and use sometime up to 15GB. Production is definitely increased with processing. I haven't got a fast laptop on the field for guiding and others so I'm wondering if a new fast system would increase and improve USB transfer? What do you guys reckon?
