CHAPTER 2. Hardware Installation
System Requirements:
To take advantage of the GIGAStation and its full capacity, the computer specifications are
very important. Even though the GIGAStation is built to have low-CPU dependability, the
computer needs to meet some requirements in order to achieve maximum performance. The
GIGA Station is not just a simple soundcard, but a multimedia digital audio device with
various functions. Therefore, the performance of the GIGAStation is affected by the
computer specs that are required to process a vast amount of digital data. A faster CPU,
faster hard disk, and larger amounts of RAM are recommended.
Minimum system requirements:
1. Intel Pentium II CPU
2. 64MB of RAM
3. One available PCI slot
4. Microsoft Windows 98 SE/ME/2000 Operating System
5. Ultra DMA 33 hard disk drive
Recommended System Requirements:
1. Intel Pentium III CPU or higher
2. More than 128MB of Ram
3. One available PCI Slot
4. Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000 Operating System
5. UDMA 66/100 7200 rpm hard disk drive
*** For using the GS2120, you need an open space in your computer rack. However,
the GS2120 doesn’t need to be inserted in a PCI slot.
