I find my biggest issue is RAM - that's the deciding factor, especially with fast frame rates in Solar. I'm usually OK until the buffer begins to overload!
Very well worth seeing if you can increase the RAM, just added 8gb DDR3 so 16 in board now my Fujitsu imaging laptop a few years old but works well, would like a larger SDD as only 256gb maybe weigh up the cost of having it done against a refurbished laptop but that's for future
Aye, though mine are based on the MeLe range of micro pcs, difficult to get into...
The ‘Memory’ referenced in the image above is Random Access Memory (RAM) installed in the computer. The 69 to 142Gb you mentioned is better described as ‘free disk space’.
With a well organised lunar session I typically capture 150Gb in 1 hour. My 500Gb disk drive has been outgrown with the faster camera. I have a 1Tb drive waiting to be installed.

Hi Dave
Got myself a 1TB SSD and x 2 16gb DDR3 blocks arriving soon to update mine, a friend's doing it for me, should make the laptop more capable.
