5 - PERFORMANCES AND TESTING

summary of the document

This software was designed and tested on a Pentium IV 3.0 GHz machine with 2 Gbytes memory, with an MSI video card and a Creative Labs sound card and Windows XP ©. It runs correctly on this machine and there should be no problems with running it on a more powerful machine but it is possible that it will not run correctly on a less powerful one and so this cannot be guaranteed.
