ATTN VSL Staff : a FAQ for PC & Mac System Requirements?

[vinco]

Hi there,

I noticed that lots of people keep asking the same questions over and over on this forum. Lots of people want to know the limitations on both platforms and would like to get an idea of what's necessary to get a fully-loaded VSL Edition.

I think it'd be nice that the VSL staff makes a diagram on the site showing what's needed to have a nice VSL Setup.

It doesn't have to show any brand but more likely the required speed of processor, the amount of RAM, how many machines you need to run a fully-loaded setup on Mac and PC.

That way, people won't ask the same questions over and over and it'll be more efficient. I know we can find a lot of info on the forum using the search mode but it'd be useful to gather all this info on a neat page.

There could be a formula showing the basic setup then another page showing a full setup with multiple machines.

Just my 2 cents. What do you think?

PS: we could also include a reply to this page in order to post OUR setups and the limitations we found. A great way to share our info with potential new users...

vinco, the short answer would be: get as much as you can [;)]
unfortunately the long answer is not as simple as it might look - systems, setups (and tastes of course) are too different and finally we're all on a budget. especially on the PC side there are a lot of options. if i tell you the best would be a cluster of 4 rambus systems each with a scsi raid5 connected over fiber i'll get serious laughs.
anyway, we will work on the FAQ section in the next weeks to give you all a more structured overview for repeatedly upcoming problems or questions, they just need to be integrated in our authoring system.
