PENTIUM III 300 CPU Or Greater---The Intel Pentium III 300MHz CPU is the minimum processing power required to run DVD. If you are running a high-powered CPU, your system may not need the assistance of either a hardware or software-based decoder.

64MB OF RAM MINIMUM---DVD utilizes your system's main memory to help transfer data. While 64MB is adequate, 128MB will ensure trouble-free performance.

AN OPEN 5.25-INCH DRIVE BAY---If you intend on adding an INTERNAL DVD drive to your system, you will need an open 5.25-inch drive bay. An open drive bay IS NOT REQUIRED if you intend on adding an external DVD drive. However, external DVD drives are substantially more expensive than internal models, and they must be connected via a USB port, FireWire port or SCSI port. If you opt for an external DVD drive, be sure you have one of these ports available, or that you upgrade your system to include one.

ONE PCI SLOT AVAILABLE FOR DECODER CARD---You'll need to add a decoder card to your system, or you can choose a software-based decoder system and you WILL NOT need to add a hardware-based card. IMPORTANT: Check your video card's specifications to determine whether you'll need a hardware or software decoder. Many of today's video cards include the required power tyo eliminate the need for decoding technology.

VIDEO CARD (8MB, 2D MODEL IS RECOMMENDED)---You will achieve the best results with your DVD drive if your video card includes at least 8MB of dedicated memory, of course, more memory is always recommended if possible. A video card that supports 16-bit color would be our recommendation for a minimum requirement. BE CERTAIN to check your video card to see if it is compatible with the particular DVD drive that you buy. As mentioned above, many video cards have enough power to eliminate the need for a hardware or software decoder, check the specifications for details.

A BASIC SOUND CARD---Most of today's sound cards and onboard sound systems will support DVD audio. If you want to take advantage of DVD multi-channel digital sound, your video system must include a digital output jack. And be sure to check your sound system's specifications to see if it supports the DVD drive you buy.

MULTIMEDIA SPEAKERS---Any PC stereo multimedia speakers will give you adequate sound for your DVD movies. If you want a richer audio experience, we recommend you purchase a Surround Sound speaker system, with four satellite speakers and subwoofer.

ADEQUATE HARD DRIVE SPACE---If you purchase a DVD-ROM drive that utilizes software-based encoding, you will need hard drive space to store this program.

DVD requires that you run Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP.
