Title: Request-Front End Gurus - Update Wiki
Post by: EwJ on January 16, 2008, 01:53:05 pm

Hi,
After searching the Wiki for a Front End for an older, slower system, I found no mention of recommended or minimum system requirements on the Wiki , Front End homepages or any other immediately obvious place. 

So, that brings us to this request : 
Could someone who is familiar with any/all the Front Ends add some information (maybe another column  in the front-end software comparison table) regarding system requirements or even a quick blurb like 'this FE will/will not run well on older hardware or 'this FE requires  'up-to-date' hardware to enjoy all of its features'.  Something like that or any other ideas that can direct people towards a FE suitable to the system they are going to be using.

Thank you  for viewing this request.

May be Front End author should use this post, to specify minimum requirement and a Wiki master can enter it on the wiki ?

Just in case , i Start :

For Atomic the really minimum is a Pentium 1 233Mhz , 32 Mega memory and NO 3d Video Card.

Realistically, to use Atomic more confortably  with Static layout in 640x480 , the minimum is Pentium 2 400 Mhz , 64 Mega memory , DirectDraw compatible video Card  (no need of Direct 3d).

Then it depends of the complexity of the layout you use and the resolution.
