I have recently got involved in the creation of a CDROM presentation to be placed inside schools (high schools and sixth form). In order to do this, I need to get a grasp on the specs for the machines I am deploying on.
I discussed this with Norfolk County Council and was told the following was recommended locally: * Windows 98 or XP * 1.7Ghz / 80Gb / 256 Ram * All students had Internet access on their desktops <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Sounds a bit on the high side to me. After all, 1.7GHz and 80GB was still pretty state-of-the-art little over a year ago. How many schools keep all their equipment that new?
Such bravery, putting XP net-facing in such numbers. Of course they keep all the machines patched...
