RE: minimum PC hardware?

["William Gray" <wgray@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I seem to recall that a 2.4 GHz processor with 512 MB RAM (if not
better) was deemed necessary for Release 2003, as recommended by other
IUGers. The minimum specs given by III weren't all that realistic,
especially if you like to run other programs simultaneously on the same
computer (like, say, a Web browser). We are currently using 400MHz
processors with 128MB RAM, and at times Millennium can be painfully
slow, or will freeze up altogether (we recorded 80 instances in a
1-month period, and I don't believe every incidence got recorded, so
there were likely more); we're due for computer upgrades after the turn
of the fiscal year in July, so feel free to ask me again then how well
Millennium works with the improced computer speed.

Subject: minimum PC hardware?

We have finally gotten the (tentative) go ahead to move from character
to Millennium this next fiscal year.  I know this will require upgrading
/replacing PCs.  However, looking at the minimum configuration listed on
Csdirect I recall a fair amount of discussion on the list in the past to
the effect that that configuration is woefully inadequate.  I tried
searching the archives with no results, I guess it's too early monday
morning for my brain to be functioning. :-(

Could someone chime in with what the group generally considers to be a
recommended configuration for PCs (for staff machines) as opposed to a
minimum configuration?

thanks,
