System Considerations
How Much RAM Is Necessary?
Liquid Silver requires a minimum 512 MB RAM. 1GB is recommended for demanding use of all
features.
Operating System
Windows XP Professional SP1 (including DirectX 9.0a or 9.0b) is required for the following turnkey:
• HP XW6000 workstation
All other systems – including the previous turnkeys
• Compaq W8000
• ASUS CUV4X-DLS based 3/5 U systems
must not be upgraded to Windows XP. They should be upgraded to the latest Windows 2000 service
pack plus all necessary system and security updates (including DirectX 9.0a or 9.0b).
TSRs
Software such as Scheduler, Task Reminder, Microsoft Outlook, Real Player and Screen Savers can
interrupt a Liquid Silver session causing drop frames and other performance problems. All TSRs should
be disabled during an edit session. Anti-virus software should only be running if the scanning of Pinnacle
Liquid related file types is excluded. A current list of these file types can be obtained from Pinnacle
Support.
Bus Mastering
Make sure that Bus Mastering is enabled in the BIOS for all PCI slots. This is a requirement.
File System
Liquid Silver systems must be formatted as NTFS volumes.
