Hardware Recommendations

PROCESSOR: Pentium III
OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows XP, 2000, or NT
VIDEO: 16MB+, true colors
DISK SPACE: 200MB

MODEM: Purchase a hardware modem, not a "Win" or software modem. If the modem requires an operating system, it is a software modem. Software modems rely heavily on your operating system to do their work, which can adversely affect the operation of other processes on your computer.
