System Requirement To take advantage of Waveterminal 192M and their full capacity, the computer specifications are very important. Even though Waveterminal 192M is built to have low- CPU resource dependability, the computer needs to meet certain requirements in order to get maximum performance. Waveterminal 192M is not just a simple soundcard, but also a multimedia digital audio device with various functions. Therefore, the performance of Waveterminal 192M would be affected by the computer specs that are required to process the vast amount of digital data. A faster CPU, faster hard disk, and larger amounts of RAM are generally recommended. Minimum System Requirement 1. Intel Pentium II 350 MHz CPU or equivalent AMD CPU 2. Mainboard with Intel or VIA chipsets 3. 128MB of RAM 4. One available PCI slot 5. Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP operating system 6. Ultra DMA 33 hard disk drive Recommended System Requirement 1. Intel Pentium III CPU or equivalent AMD CPU 2. Motherboard with Intel series chipsets(BX,820,815 and so on) or VIA chipsets 3. More than 256MB of RAM 4. UDMA66/100 7200rpm hard disk drive 8 ESI Waveterminal 192M 2. Preparation for hardware installation Waveterminal 192M PCI card and other components in the computer can be easily damaged by electrical shock. You need to use an anti-static device that can discharge the static electricity of your body to avoid potential static damage to the cards. 1.
