Computer Specifications
The computer selection is crucial for good system operation. In the following pages are
minimum and recommended specifications for CD-R and DVD-R recorders. The
computer must be dedicated just for running the Desktop autoloader.
Computer Requirements
These are the minimum and recommended requirements to operate a CD-R Rimage
system. The minimum requirements work fine for "duplication" operation.
Duplication occurs when a client application sends a single order to record multiple
copies to multiple or single recorders. The recommended requirements are for power
users that use the "publishing" operation or want optimum system performance and
reliability. Publishing occurs when a client application submits multiple orders of
single disc images to the multiple recorders.
