Re: What hardware are you using?

Wow! what a difference as I installed the Athlon ii X2 280 3.4ghz replacing the 1 core 2ghz 170u and the performance difference is huge.

Re: There's ALWAYS a temtation...

I tend to be a bit behind the curve but the hardware still performs very well but I can get better feature sets for...

It will happen slowly and be phased in by 2021 with Adyen. With Paypal no longer owned by Ebay any issues you have will be handled directly by Ebay who has an agreement with Paypal.
