I have two old HP laptops with, IIRC, 1.7 GHz core2duos, 2 GiB ram, that
run the latest ppa version of master under 64-bit kubuntu xenial with
the ? stack option.
They give usually flawless recordings, quite often several at once, from
SD DVB-T. But I don't use commflagging, and I avoid most other use of
the system while they are doing it.
Installing an extra 2 GiB of ram made a big difference to the
performance of my main boxes, also core2duo but 2.7 GHz, which run
64-bit Fedora-ish KDE OSes and came with only 2 GiB ram.
