    Can I get some ideas of what specs a laptop needs to stream a 3 camera setup?

    Also which OS works best with software? Does W10 have more problems than W7? Compatibility, driver etc?

    Ok so if I get a strong processor, 8gb of decent RAM, I can run 3 cameras via USB? No need for dedicated gfx or video capture?

    I do want to run main cam at 1080/60. The other two not too bothered... 720/30 is fine.

    Thanks. I might just try out my old laptop

    7yr old Intel Core i7 2630QM 2.00 GHz with 8gb DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz, 3GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M Graphics Card, Win7 64 bit.

    Think this could be alright?

    Are you saying I need a processor with more cores?

    Ah ok wasn't sure. Thanks.

    My processor has Passmark of 5541 which is a bit short of the 6000 that Buffalo Pinball recommend for a solid 720/60 stream. They also recommend a decent GFX card. I'm still unsure why.

    I think I might practice with this laptop and upgrade once I've got a taste for it and will appreciate the upgrade in quality.
