Compatibility

[T and J Karaoke]

Well I will be getting a laptop system but I am going to use two external hard drives that way it don't slow down my system when I decide to switch from one drive to the next. I just hope there isn't going to be lag time when I am navigating. I have never done this before, heck I am still so called flipping disks. But I think if I do it right it will work. I wonder if I can have vista removed and have xp put back on it? Hmmmmmmmmm That would be a blessing.

I use videos all the time, sometimes hoster, whch works well, but sometimes I use a video of the actual song being sung (If I have it?), but to do this you need to play it off your backup computer, of which mine is a laptop. Works well with thru 4 way video switch going to the audience monitor.

get 10,000 rpm HD if you can find them, very, very, expensive though.

I don't know about Vista and this but be sure to turn Indexing off for the external drives. Indexing will slow you down because it has to verify the index every time you access the drive.
Going back to XP may be the better choice but I can see this option is not going to be available for too much longer if Microsoft has their way.
