Vantage 8.0 Hardware requirements

A PIII-600 with 500MB is the bare minimum. It will work, but in our
experience is a little slow to load screens (and eventually consumes
all the memory). It seems a 2.0+ Ghz P4 with 1GB RAM is the minimum
for power users. Can't figure out why a client/server business
application requires the same processing power as complex 3D
modeling,
oh well.

Also, for your network, I HIGHLY suggest a minimum of 100mbit network
cards and routers. Assuming your cabling is there, this could be a
very cheap upgrade. We tried 10mbit and it was unbearable. Also, be
sure you have the latest network card drivers regardless of what
speed
network you are running -- we saw performance increases on some
machines more than double after changing the driver!

BTW, gigabit is getting real cost effective now.

Hi all,

I just started going through the version 8 upgrade process and received some information from my CAM.

According to the information sent to me, vantage 8 requires the clients to have a Pentium IV 2.4Ghz processor or equivalent computer with 768-1GB of memory.

It's easy and cheap to add the memory but upgrading the processor requires a whole new computer. A 2.4GHz processor seems a little excessive. Has anybody tried it on a smaller processor? Is the 2.4Ghz processor really a minimum requirement or is it just a best case recommendation?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jasper

I thought it was a PIII-600 or something like that? We are also upgrading
everything to XP/ office 2003 and discovered in a lot of cases its cheaper
to buy news PCs then upgrade the old one.
