I need to put together a computer to run
MediaShout(www.mediashout.com) presentation software.
This is from their website as far as hardware recommendations:
Video Cards (Desktop)
These cards should have a minimum of 32 MB - Most people will probably
get a 64MB card or greater since they are easily accessible to most
people nowadays. These cards are between $50 and $150 generally.
MediaShout users do not need extremely high end video cards. If the
card is more than $150 it is probably a high end card with features
that MediaShout does not utilize. Normally, high end cards are for
video editors and video gamers.
ATI Radeon 9000, Series Video Cards
Nvidia Geforce Series Video Cards
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND MATROX VIDEO CARDS!!
General Specs
Windows XP Operating System Intel Pentium 4 Processor 256 MB RAM 30 GB
Hard Drive (can be greater if desired) Dual Display video card (ATI
RADEON or Nvidia Geforce ) or two seperate video cards for a desktop
machine.
MediaShout V3 PC*
Windows XP, 1 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 200 MB free hard disk space
(recommended: 1.5 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, 1 GB free hard disk
space); dual-display capability**
This is what I have come up with:
MOTHERBOARD- Intel D865PERL
CASE- Antec Sonata
PROCESSOR- Intel P4 3Ghz
MEMORY- Crucial (2)512 PC3200 DDR-Sdram
VIDEO CARD(s)- Don't know yet
HARDDRIVE- Seagate 80g 7200rpm 8mb
OPTICAL-Plextor PX712 DVD+-RW Writer
You all out there know more about this stuff than I do and I know this
computer is a little overkill, but I had much rather have overkill and
have the power in case I need it. So all of your suggestions will be
greatly appreciated, especially for the video card(s).
This program is designed to run with two monitors.
