Motion recommends at least 1GB of memory for the best Vista experience. Motion Tablet PCs require qualified memory for proper performance. Please contact Motion at 1-866-MTABLET for a list of qualified memory manufactures.

The Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT) runs a series of tests and rates your tablet on a scale ranging from 1 through 5 (with 1 representing the lowest score). The tool rates several subsets of your computer system, including processor, memory, primary hard disk, graphics, and gaming graphics. Your tablet s WinSAT score is determined by the lowest subset score. For example, if your lowest subset score on any individual component is 1.0, then your WinSAT score is 1.0. The WinSAT score is not an average of the subset scores. The only way to raise your WinSAT score is to raise your lowest subset score. Even if your LE1600 or LS800 has a low WinSAT score, you will be able to run the core experiences of Windows Vista.
