This is a STICK-UP...HELP

[Jimmy Crosby]

Hi, and regards to all MTU fans and admin. I have been away for a while and I think I want to update to Hoster 4*** (no I know I do). So I want to hear from you, Please, any advise on my PC (or call it my main PC) for ripping and running Hoster to renaming, printing and whatever else. Is it like in the good old XP days, if your PC will just run and has say a little extra ram, that is about it? Other than a video card with dual-extended screen capability, and external hard drives and say a standalone CD+G player, not to mention the mixer/amp Why do I ask you.....you know, cause you are the best of best. OK, I don't want to be running my old dell diminsion 8400 with a 3.4 (single core of course) 2 gig of ram and find later that I should have bought or built a quadcore with 16 gig of ram...! I will dedicated it to karaoke only.
You got to run an antivirus! are they not bad on a hoster PC???
What about ...... like firewall's???
Also or BTW.... I have never run any mikes or player trough my PC, I used the PC, a 3 drawer RSQ player, and that was it for input. but maybe that has changed with being able to record the singer. That is why I am asking you.... ANY ADVISE ...BIG or SMALL Thank you VERY MUCH jimmy

Read the entire page with the Video Hoster for all the features (no recording) and computer requirements. What you list as having should be quite adequate. The main possible drawback may be the video memory. If this is a laptop as it sounds like it is many of those use shared memory for video and some have had problems with that causing sync problems. This can be solved but may take some extra work to get it corrected.
The only Anti-virus I have heard of that caused problems with Hoster has been AVG.
Firewalls are not usually a problem because Hoster does not need a network connection to run a show.

Thank you very much Dale.
Oh yea I read, the recording of a song while singing onto your PC, in Microstudio 4 point something (I think).
The Dimension 8400 is a desktop workstation....but a single core CPU. Has a good video card.
Yea Dale I have read the entire page, I have real physical problems, from an auto accident, it's not just that I can't read it or remember it, I often get my facts mixed up.
I need to ask you a couple more questions but really should do a new thread I think. Thank you again Dale you have been a real help....jimmy
