For Optimum Computer Performance
Investing in a new computer is a great way to make sure you're getting the most out
of your new laser equipment. Why? Because today's software (CorelDraw for
instance) requires a lot of computer processing speed and memory to function
properly. A good computer won't make a big difference in how your laser runs, but
when compared to a slow computer it will save untold amounts of time and
frustration setting up the artwork that you "print" to the laser. Many users do not
purchase new computers for use with their new laser because their current computers
are perfectly adequate. There's no magical cut-off that makes a computer too slow.
If you're comfortable with the performance and speed of your current computer,
there's probably no reason to purchase another one. The following recommendations
are just advice to consider if a new computer is necessary.
A new computer doesn't have to be expensive to work great! Even many of today's
lower cost computers work great for laser applications. As long as you don't buy the
cheapest computer you can find you should be fine.
Read these recommendations and consider spending just a few dollars more for those
components that will save you time and frustration.
Operating System
Windows 32-bit or 64-bit XP, 2000, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 operating
systems.
RAM – Random Access Memory
4 GB is the minimum that is recommended. RAM is like short-term memory. It's
fast and readily available for the computer to access and makes time consuming tasks
go much quicker if you have lots of it. Having more than 2 GB of RAM is nice if you
demand a lot from your computer.
