[PLUG] Which CPU

[Chuck Hast]

That is going to be my next step, I have moved all of my laptops to SSD,
the ones that I use day to day are both i7's and now have SSD's.

I am going to look at the i5's That maybe the way to go.

I have 8g of memory in the machine most of them time it will have about
half or less of it used, and it never appears to even touch the disk for
memory.

Will look at the i5. That and the SSD maybe all I need for this one.
