PC Requirements for Amatrol eLearning

 

PC Requirements for Multimedia

Minimum system requirements to run Amatrol’s multimedia locally on a PC:

  • 1 GHz Processor
  • 512 MB RAM
  • 60 GB hard drive
  • Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
  • Sound card (or onboard sound)
  • Video card (or onboard video) capable of 1024×768 resolution with 24-bit color
  • CD-ROM drive for installing curriculum if locally installed
  • Network capability if curriculum is to be on a server. Wireless Networks: 8 Mbps per connected PC (i.e. a 56 Mbps wireless network should service no more than 7 PCs)

 


PC Requirements for Simulation Software

  • DirectX 9 compliant video card (NVIDIA chipset preferred)
  • 1 GB RAM
  • Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz processor or higher
  • 20 MB of free hard drive space
  • CD-ROM drive for software installation
  • Windows XP or Windows Vista 32-bit

 

 

Local Server Requirements

Minimum system requirements for a local server computer to serve Amatrol’s multimedia to local client computers:

  • 1 GHz Processor
  • 1 GB RAM
  • 100 GB hard drive
  • Server Software (such as Microsoft Windows Server 2003)**
  • CD-ROM drive for installing curriculum
  • Wired Networks: 100-Base T
  • Wireless Networks: 8 Mbps per connected PC (i.e. a 56 Mbps wireless network should service no more than 7 PCs)

Amatrol’s multimedia content can have a significant impact on the network. Over the course of an hour, each student could go through as much as 100MB of content. With just 20 students, that’s 2GB/hr, or an average of about 5Mbps. While this is not a constant stream, there are spikes and drop-offs in network impact, so a 54Mbps wireless network will be susceptible to delays when several stations are hitting the server at once.

**Important to note: Windows Server software is recommended for the server. Windows XP is limited to 5 simultaneous connections. This indicates that XP cannot be used as the server software when more than 5 students need to run multimedia at the same time.

Amatrol eLearning Requirements – Requirements for Amatrol’s eLearning are different from the requirements for locally installed software.
