[hpsdr] Configuring an Ubuntu Linux system.

[Sid Boyce]

Hi Jim,
Besides the dual, quad, 6 and 8-core x86_64 PC's I have run 
ghpsdr3-alex, Linrad, cuSDR64 and HiQSDR support programs on ARM - 
Pandaboard with 2 CPU's and 1GB memory, ODROID-X with 4 CPU's and 1GB 
run at 700MHz due to some component that has gone out of spec and 
ODROID-U3 with 4 CPU's at up to 1.7GHz and 2GB.

Almost forgot the Zotac MaG mini PC - dual-core Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU  
330   @ 1.60GHz with 2GB memory and it runs a full Linux workload 
including all my SDR programs without noticing any slowness except when 
I am doing big software builds where they take longer to complete than 
on the 8-core AMD box with 16GB and two 6-core AMD boxes with 8 and 16GB.

Intel  Pentium(R) Dual-Core  CPU      E5700  @ 3.00GHz with 4GB way more 
than fast enough.

None have been dedicated to just running SDR programs, I concurrently 
run other stuff on them.

Obviously get the best PC you can afford, it will be way more than adequate.
73 ... Sid.
