  I am now using a new PC, an eMachines EZ1601-01 All-in-One Desktop
with IntelR AtomT N270 Processor ($406 from Amazon). The operating
system is Windows XP. My USB-to-serial adaptor was purchased from
USBGear, sku no. 765288, price $11.33 plus $5.89 shipping. It contains
an FTDI chip. I use a Dataq DI-154 for data acquisition. I have had no
problems at all with this setup, and I see no reason why SDR would not
work OK as well. There are drivers available for Windows 7 for the
adapter. I like the PC because of its low power consumption and
conduction/convection coolling (no fan noise). It handles both data
acquisition and Web surfing very well.
