Running Two Computers?
Hey guys I am a noobie here and I have a question about running two computers at once. I have an Epia M9000 with a 20gig drive and 256 megs of ram. I also want to run a Mac iBook and a 7" Lilliput along with it. I will only have a GPS reciever hooked up to the M9000, and a USB sound card and powered hub hooked up to the iBook. The question I have is will an Opus 150 running the Epia and then a DC-DC regulator running the iBook work ok? I also am running a 300Watt Amp in the Car. Will I overload the system with this setup? If so can I just have my Alternator upgraded?
Thanks for the help!!

The Opus 90 watt would handle the EPIA M9000 and your GPS just fine.
