UMKC Desktop Support recommends the replacement of campus microcomputers
using a three to four-year life-cycle approach. To provide a uniform method for
evaluating the suitability of an existing computer on campus, the following
table has been devised:
Processor 2.66 GHz (single processor) or above
Memory 1 GB (2GB minimum for Vista usage)
Hard Drive 80 GB or above *
Integrated Network Port
Operating System -- Windows XP, SP 3 or above
|
Processor 1.6 GHz - G5 and above
Memory 1 GB or above
Hard Drive 80 GB or above *
Integrated
Network Port
Operating System OS X (10.5 or above)
|
* Hard Drive size ultimately contingent upon application / data
size and usage.
Any computer that falls below the minimum recommendations set forth in this
table should not be considered a suitable candidate for the following practices:
-
Hardware Upgrade
-
Machine Transfer or "Trickle-Down"
