ChamberWare Hardware Requirements

	- Hardware Requirements

Visual ChamberWare is written in Microsoft Visual Studio. It is 100% compatible with Windows 98 through XP

Listed below are minimum requirements for Visual ChamberWare. The "recommendations" are desirable, however, should your budget allow you to go beyond these recommendations (with a faster CPU speed or other additional capacity) you will gain in performance and viable system life. Stand alone computers can use the "workstation" recommendations.

NETWORK SERVER

Item:

Minimum:

Processor (CPU)

Pentium IV

PIII 400 Mhz

Memory

128 - 256 Megabytes

128 Megabytes

Disk Space Required

50 Megabytes

Dedicated servers are preferable for performance and system file integrity. Peer to peer LAN's can be setup as dedicated file servers. ChamberWare can be used on a small non-dedicated server network (4-5 workstations). Larger networks should be configured with a dedicated server whenever possible.

Internet Connection

If you are purchasing new hardware we recommend getting the fastest processor you can afford with the most amount of memory. Pentium III's are certainly sufficient, while Pentium IV's are increasingly affordable. The key to multitasking Visual ChamberWare with other applications is having plenty of memory. We recommend having at least 128 megabytes of memory, 256 megabytes if possible.

VIDEO REQUIREMENTS

The minimum video screen resolution is 800 x 600, however, 1024 x 768 is highly recommended.

SOFTWARE COLLABORATIONS

Like typical Office products ChamberWare is designed to interface with other common applications for flexibility. Below are some of the applications that ChamberWare can automatically control with the click of a button.

Fax:	WinFax Pro version 10
E-mail:	Minimum Internet Explorer 5.5 Outlook or Outlook Express
Word Merge:	Microsoft Word 2002

ChamberWare has the capability to interface with other programs such as Word Perfect, Excel, Lotus 1-2-3,as well as other generic formats (like CSV or XML) for use by a typesetter. These flexible formats give you the power to integrate and manipulate your database in many ways!
