I have a Dell laptop that I bought for ~$500 in 2014, upgraded to 16GB RAM and SSD, it holds ETH, LTC and BTC blockchain. It's constant network transfer is 4MB/s, avg. CPU usage 70%. Run Arch. What problem are you having?



How often do you sync? First of all, mist crashes way too often. Even when it works it takes hours to sync. DOes it work smoothly for you?


Mist crashed only once for me when I run out of memory, "swarm" consumed 15GB of RAM and was killed by kernel. Otherwise it never crashed for me. Mist is on all the time, bitcoin once day for a few hours (3-5hrs), litecoin is on for weekends.


Maybe because it's always on it works for you. I only open it once in a while, and leave frustrated.
