Hi Dene,
Opinions may vary greatly, but I'd pick a 1Ghz cpu as my absolute
minium. I would think that these days you could get something in the
2Ghz range for pretty cheap ... more is always better if you can afford it.
512Mb video ram may be slightly overkill ... if you are buying a new
card, I would think that anything in the 128Mb - 256Mb range should do
... but as is usually the case with computeres, more is often better if
you can afford it. :-)
Win98 is extremely old. Most people these days are running Windows XP
and have been for several years. :-) Some of your problems may be due
to an extremely out of date operating system?
Regards,
Curt.

Hi all,
I have approval from "she that must be obeyed" to get a dedicated FG
PC. I'm in the process of finishing the spec to give to my selected PC
builder. I would appreciate your guys comment on it's suitability for
FG 099. I intend running Win 98se as my primary OS but as can be seen
have allowed enough room on the system partition for dual boot should
I choose (but that's a different topic)
Ø Motherboard
§ PIII or P4
§ 500Mhz + processor speed
§ 512Mbytes system RAM plus
§ AGP or PCI-E slot for video card
Ø Video
§ 512Mbyte Nvidia graphics card (interface to suit m/board)
Ø Storage
§ 40Gbyte plus 7200rpm HDD configured as 10/15/15 partitions
(System/Program/Data)
§ at least 40x CD-ROM
§ FDD
Ø Interfaces
§ 100/10BaseT NIC ( so I can access downloads on the other
pcs and print to a network printer)
§ PS2 Mouse port
§ PS2 Keyboard port
§ at least one USB port
Ø Miscellaneous
§ 2 way- Keyboard/Mouse/Screen switch (make best use of
limited space and I won't be flying while editing etc.)
§ 16 bit sound card with speakers (lowest spec available is OK)
Cheers
Dene
