    For anyone using EngageMe, do you have it running in the background, as opposed to on a different device?
    It wouldn't be possible on my fairly old laptop, because it would be extremely slow trying to do anything else.
    Am thinking of getting a new desktop PC though, so am wondering if anyone who runs it in the background can give any info on how much RAM, storage space and processor speed you've got.
    Most stuff runs fine for me, so I'd really like to know what might be possible on a newer machine when using resource-hungry things like EngageMe.

    I've got 3 browsers open, lots of tabs, not running Engagemetv(!), and I'm using 9GB of RAM. I have 16 GB installed. Seems excessive to pay more for ram just for Swagbucks though.
