I was afraid you would say that.
Currently my computer is doing just fine for what I want it to do.
Experience has shown that when I get interested in some new technology, I do
what I have to do to deploy it, then play with it for a week or a month.
And then the interest fades away.
What I have done consistently for 40 years is work CW contests... and a bit
of rag chewing.
I keep coming back to this.
So I don't want to spend a lot of money on a faster computer which will
later be used to run AALog once or twice per week, plus 2 or 3 contests per
year.
But these are all my personal problems.
I appreciate you helping me understand the technology and what it takes to
deploy it properly.
As I said I will start with the computer I have.
Once I get it running, if need be I can move my office PC to the shack for a
while.
Jan/Feb are dead months for us, business wise.

This computer is not a good candidate to run with a panadapter. I would say
you need at least dual core and 2 ghz and 2 gig of memory.
