SPECTRUM Software Release Notes Page 26

Microsoft Windows NT (OS 4.0 and 2000)

SPECTRUM supports Microsoft’s Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 on

Intel-based systems with 500 MHz (or faster) Pentium III CPUs.

To run SPECTRUM on a Windows NT 4.0 system, you must have Service

Pack SP5 or Service Pack SP6a installed.

SPECTRUM is compiled with Visual C++ version 6.0 with Service Pack 3.

Service Packs are not required to run SPECTRUM on systems running

Windows 2000. While not required, Service Pack 1 for Windows 2000 is a

tested and supported conﬁguration.

For the optimum performance, Aprisma recommends running

SPECTRUM with multiple Ultra Wide SCSI drives or Enhanced IDE (EIDE)

drives using RAID disk striping technologies. SPECTRUM requires high-

performance disk I/O optimized for small random writes. Please contact

your hardware vendor for an appropriate RAID solution.

Additional Requirements

1 A 4X CD-ROM drive is necessary for loading SPECTRUM.

2 A 2 MB PCI Bus Video Card that supports a recommended minimum

of 65K colors at a 1280 x 1024 resolution.

3 A 20-inch (or larger) color monitor for workstations running GUI

clients.

Note:

SPECTRUM must be installed by a member of the local

Administrators group.
