Pentium III (or equivalent) with
400 MHz processor speed |
|
You can run it with a
slower machine, but don't be surprised when it takes too long. Especially
for smooth animations you need a fast machine. |

64 MB RAM memory |
|
When you run the
software under NT 4.0 you should have at least 64 MB RAM, because otherwise the
processor will probably swap data to the hard disc, which will
considerably slow down your work (not just with this program). If you
want to run several other applications in parallel, such as a word
processor or a spreadsheet program, you should have 128 MB RAM. |

Video board with a resolution
of at least 1024 x 768 pixels in true color mode |
|
This is an absolute
"must". You can not run this application with a lower screen
resolution! (Fortunately, a video board with a 1024 x 768 resolution
typically costs less than this software.) This restriction was
necessary, because we wanted to have enough screen space for large,
non-scrolling tables and multiple charts. |

300 - 400 MB hard disk space |
|
This certainly sounds like a
lot of hard disk space! Of course, the program actually needs much less -
typically less than 80 MB for the program and the included input data
archive. However, you will be surprised how quickly you will fill up
your hard disk with the results files of
your projections. Since this program makes it so easy to run a
projection, you can easily produce hundreds of output
files in one session. (Of course, you can ask the program to
automatically erase output files, after every run - but that is
probably not what you want.) |
