We recommend at least a Pentium processor with 64-512 Meg of RAM running Windows Me/NT4/2000/ XP/VISTA/Windows 7. The hard drive required depends on the size of your collection. Plan on 2.5 Megs per 1,000 items and approximately 1 Meg per 250 patrons. A CDROM drive is needed for program installation. The printer must be a single-sheet type such as an ink jet or laser printer. If you plan to use bar code scanning in PC Card Catalog, you will need a scanner that emulates keyboard entry. Most scanners are designed to do this either plugging into the keyboard or USB ports.
