Computer Hardware suggestions
April 10, 2009 12:00 AM
In my experience, other than what mr cheese has to say, hardware is most likely never the cause of instable software in such cases. You should be looking at the operating system instead. Lectora does run on Windows Vista, however, at our office we still run Windows XP SP3 and Lectora runs just fine.
Lectora's improvement on a dual (of quad-)core is not really significant, since it's still written for just one core. Therefor, a good dual-core processor might come in handy when you want to run more than just Lectora, but it's no requirement. Things that are very usable are the following:
- Working on a Local machine, not on a network
- 2 GB of memory
- A pretty fast harddisk
- Keeping your virusscanner in tome (it might go wild and scan with every write-action performed on the system, meaning that Lectora will run pretty darn slow at some point)
Good luck with this issue. If you somehow managed to improve perfomance, please post the answer here.
