>Hi Experts,
>
>This week, we test ran the POS app I have developed on and ran it on the ff hardware:
>
>- Intel Atom mini PC, 1Gb RAM, 32Gb SSD, Windows 7, Touch screen monitor
>- Server is a regular CPU with Intel i5 7th Gen, 4Gb, 1Tb RAM, Windows 7, MySQL Server
>
>The app starts up fine, but during several instances, there appears to be rather sluggish response. Twice, a "POS is not responding" appeared and hangs up this mini PC. What is worse, was there was an instance wherein a string of orders have been printed out by the receipt printer, but was missing in the database! (Only the Sales header was saved, the child details went missing).
>
>I ran this on a rather old laptop, Intel i3 2nd gen, although there was a time or two that the touch interface lagged, all went well, most specially the data saves.
>
>Anybody has any experience on this? Best that we forego mini PCs with Intel Atom and/or SSDs?

My POS application written in VFP 9 works well with Atom PC. But I can't protect exe with exe protecters for Atom PC because of slow performance issues.
