Best Computer For Roxio Capture Hd Pro

[Clueless Mum]

Hi

I am a clueless mum who has bought Roxio Game Capture HD Pro for my kids birthday. I knew I would possibly have to upgrade my computer to run it and I do which is fine as the one I have is old. HOWEVER when I look at computer specs many of them are called different things than the minimum system requirements on the box. I am looking for a laptop or computer that has at least Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (according to the box) but when I search for processors on PC World for example they don't have anything called that but call them i3, i5, etc or dual core. When I look for a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card I cannot find an up to date list at all. In a nutshell can anyone recommend a laptop or computer and not too expensive that will allow my kids to use the Roxio. I don't want an all singing and dancing laptop just one that will work. Thank you in advance and my apoogies if I havn't used this chat properly either as I am new to that too!!

I don't know like to make recommendations when someone else's wallet is involved

 

I am not a fan of laptops, generally they never quite live up to their claims and in no case are they ever equal to a Desktop...

 

I would print out the specs, you can do a screen cap from the web listing and take that with you to a few computer stores. Show it too the clerk and get their suggestions.

 

In the end you will find someone you feel you can trust and go with that

 

If you don't have anything that satisfies you locally, might make a day of it and go to Glassglow
