| Hardware Minimum Requirements |
Hardware Recommended |
Operation speed 100 megahertz |
1000 megahertz (most computers sold today range from 1.8
gigahertz to 2.4 gigahertz) |
Memory 64 megabytes |
Computers sold today usually have a minimum of 256 megabytes,
however, we suggest that a system with 512 megabytes of RAM
would be more efficient for a multi-tasking environment. |
1 gigabyte of free hard disk space to be used for storage |
We recommend that you allow for at least 10 gigabytes
of hard disk storage (most computers sold today have hard
disks with 20 or more gigabytes) |
Internet connection with modem using a transfer rate of
28 kilobytes or higher |
56 kilobytes recommended. A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
would be much better. |
Internet Service Provider (ISP) |
Many of you already have an ISP for your e-mail, newsgroups.
Examples are AOL, MSN, Compuserve, Earthlink, etc. |
Flatbed scanner |
This is to be used for scanning of documents that need
to be imaged and sent to the court. |
| Software Requirements |
Software Recommendations |
Operating system that supports a web browser, such as
Windows, Linux, Macintosh and others. |
We recommend that you use Windows. Our court, as most
others, uses this system. Our help desk is well versed in
versions 3.1 to 2000. |
Web Browser - Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft's
Internet Explorer |
We recommend that you use the suggested versions. Other
versions of these browsers have not been fully tested. |
PDF compatible windows-based word processor like recent
versions of WordPerfect and Microsoft Word. |
All are fine. |
Adobe Acrobat - to be used for conversion of scanned documents
to Portable Document Format (PDF) |
We also recommend the use of this tool for the purpose
of viewing PDF documents. |
| |
Anti-virus software is not a requirement but is highly
suggested. On our current system, we accept lists of creditors
on floppy disk. This has resulted in the court receiving corrupt
information. |
