I run the latest RH, & Slicer on an older Toshiba Satellite with an AMD 64 bit 2.0, 4G ram on Win7 Pro. Runs the same speed as my Win 10 HP 3.9 I5 12G, Win 8.1 I5 16G or IMac OSX 16G. In fact it runs more stable on the lap. The lap won't upgrade to Win10 cuz the vid card is not enough. The speed is in the connection, the g-code is already compiled before the print starts.

newest version you can run on same PC as older versions is 95f. its why my newest version is on dif PC ATM

the newer versions require removing all older versions to install them so be sure and find and backup your Slic3r profiles so you can stick them in new versions folder

I would upgrade but place it in a different folder. I ran .85 along with the latest version in my old netbook until I got the hang of the latest version and all the updated slic3r settings.

there are a lot more features in the latest repieter-host that are worth looking into.

For my solidoodle 2 I have a slow old netbook running Repetier Host 0.85b and Slic3r 1.1.7. Should I just stick with this or have new and better things been invented since I started using this in 2012?
