Robotmaker: I was planning on using a small ITX board or the new PICO board I am looking into them also, do you have a recommendation? What operating system are you using? As far as windows7 go's I know it is supported by Microsoft. XP/ XP Pro are near end of life (no more support or updates). That is why I changed to windows 7 Professional for both my laptop and my desktop. I am about to install lisp 6.0 again on my laptop to see if I can get it working. Leaf is what I am looking for I would like to get it running on my laptop to test it out. My understanding is that with ITX or PICO MB you can load any operating system. Is this true? I know I am asking a lot of questions but it is the way I learn. I appreciate any help you can give me. I did play with LINUX about 10 years ago and it was nice but I went back to Windows after about 3 months. I could use you guidance.

Thanks BC

yes i know about about WINDOWS XP PRO no support,(i never use support) you can use WINDOWS 7 but it will take up much much power (current) on itx boards check out newegg,on pico board it can handle it.but may need 2 of them ,still very very low current 2 watts,thats also main reason i bought 7 OEM windows xp pro,so can use in all my robots never had a problem with it or virus for many years,speed very fast INTEL makes a good ITX board fairly low current quad core the 32bit processor needed for windows 7 uses twice the current of a dual core or quad core also whats good is a SSD (SolidState Drive) cost more but saves on a lot of current,plus if your robot falls doesnt damage the hard drive,plus when you install the LEAF software dont want to add any extra software thats not robot related it will slow it down best way i do one mine is use a software like XPLITE and make your own operating system,pretty easy to do,i dont think it will work on WINDOWS 7 only WINDOWS XP PRO PRO version is need if you want to also control your robot from a remote terminal using remote desktop program like XPLITE ,REMOVES un needed programs ,like games,many memory hog resources,and there is alot of them only need the main system,internet and remote desktop,plus saves alot of space i also found ways to cut down ion files that my robot uses ,like LISP witch is main AI program OPENCV witch is for VISION and face tracking ,SAPI for voice recognition,so it takes of less space,plusit helps on whats called VIRTUAL MEMORY,virtual memory is when your board doesnt have enough memory and uses hard drive space for memory i know many many tricks to get a computer to run faster and lower current
