Your setup should be fine.  That's a little fast than this computer I'm on
and this one does just fine.  The older laptop I used to use locked up with

I haven't set it up yet, just downloaded it. How much resources does it
take?
I've got a PIII chip at 770Mhz with a 30 gig HD and 128meg of RAM, will that
do
it? I've also been looking at Black Ice but it costs bux.
