At a minimum, your system should
be a Pentium 500 processor or higher with 32 megabytes (MB) of
Random Access Memory (RAM); A Pentium II 300 MHz processor with
64 MB is recommended. A typical installation requires
approximately 200 MB of hard-disk space. Either a local CD-ROM
drive or access to a CD-ROM drive via a network is needed. A VGA
or higher-resolution monitor is needed. (A Super VGA with 256
colors or higher is recommended.) A Microsoft mouse or compatible
pointing device is needed.
Printers are not required,
although you will need to install a printer driver. This course
does require a full Internet connection for each workstation,
either directly through a network, or by dialing in to an access
provider. Workstations should be equipped with a 56 BPS modem (or
better) properly installed and configured, or a network card and
network cable connection to an Internet host. See your reference
manual for hardware considerations that apply to your specific
hardware setup.
