Description

The Vr Mapping Software is a Microsoft Windows application and will run on many computers running this operating system. Computer hardware configurations depend on the application. Below are listed sample application and a suggested computer configuration.

The configurations below are suggested and your requirements and preferences may be different.

More help on hardware for Vr Mapping Software can be found on the Vr Hardware Configurations Help Page.

See hardware manufacturers for a list of the various hardware suppliers.

All Configurations

•	Computer: Dell and Hp computers may be used as high quality, reliable computers. Custom built computers have proven to work well also.

•

Processor: Any processor supporting Microsoft Windows. This includes Intel and AMD. Recommended processor speed is 3.0 GHZ or greater. When running VrTwo, dual processors or a single dual core or quad core or higher is required. This includes the single Intel Dual Core or the single Intel Core 2 Duo or the Intel Core 2 Quad, or the Intel Core i7 or the dual or quad core Intel Xeon processors. An Intel quad core processor is recommended.

•	Disk Drive: Disk drives should have a rotational speed equal to or greater than 7,200 RPM. Serial ATA (SATA), ULTRA ATA, and SCSI disk drives work well with Vr Mapping.

•	Disk Drive Interface: Currently, Serial ATA is the most popular disk interface and works will with Vr Mapping.

•

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit is recommended for Vr Mapping Version 5 and above. Windows XP is recommended for Vr Mapping Version 4 and below. The Vr Mapping Version 5 32-bit version runs on both Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows XP. The Vr Mapping Version 5 64-bit version runs on Windows 7 64-bit.

Collection Station for Analog/Analytical Stereo Plotters
