RE: [Flashcoders] Advice on minimum specification for cross platform cdrom
Thanks Kerry Good point about the recommended spec. This is the first CDROM I have created since the days of Windows 98 so I am a bit rusty with regards all the required information that must go on the CDROM sleeve. A lot scarier than online stuff as one small mistake can be costly in terms of reprinting thousands of disk sleeves or disks in this information is included in a readme file on the disk too. Many thanks for the advice.

A lot of products will give minimum spec, and recommended spec. Minimum spec may run slow, and some features may not work real well, but it at least runs, if poorly. Recommended spec is, of course, the machine that runs your program smoothly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Advice on minimum specification for cross platform cdrom
You can always test and evaluate it on a ultra low spec machine... Nobody knows better than how much ram or cpu your app uses.

RE: [Flashcoders] Advice on minimum specification for cross platform cdrom
I did hire a testing company. Just wanted to check my text included all the necessary stuff. Here is what the testing company reported. The application successfully ran on each of the configurations listed in the table below. Some of the animations run noticeably slower on configurations 2 and 4 however this did not affect the usability of the application significantly. We would recommend that 800MHz is the minimum CPU specification, although the application will run on slower machines. Memory usage is negligible (approximately 40MB). Software Configurations The following is a list of the operating systems and browsers that were used during testing: Config No. Operating SystemTest Machine 1 Windows XP Pro SP2 TM061 and TM063 2 Windows Vista Home BasicTM065 3 Windows 7 Professional TM080 4 Mac OS X 10.4 TM014 5 Mac OS X 10.5.2 TM070 Machine Specifications Machine No. Model Processor Speed RAM TM014 iMacG3 800MHz 256MB TM061 Compaq Deskpro EN PIII800MHz 256MB TM063 Compaq Deskpro EN PIII1GHz256MB TM065 Dell Optiplex 745 Intel Core 2 Duo1.8GHz 2GB TM070 iMacIntel Core 2 Duo2.66GHz 2GB TM080 Dell Vostro 220SIntel Core 2 Duo2.8GHz 4GB -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Henrik Andersson Sent: 18 November 2009 17:05 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Advice on minimum specification for cross platform cdrom Paul Steven wrote: I just wanted to double check this is correct before duplicating a few thousand CDROM sleeves.
