Operating system
: Windows Vista or XP. We have not tested on earlier operating systems or MAC’s. 1 GB RAM preferred. We have several laptops with 1GB RAM and some desktops with 4 GB RAM. Centrino or better for the computer that will contain the database. We have one desktop pc
Hard Drive:
consider:
Are you keeping documents? If so what type, i.e JPEG, BMP, PDF, etc.. We recommend scanning as
searchable PDF at 300 ppi. The “average” file size is 200-300 kb, however this is highly dependent upon
the number of pages and information written on those page.
Are you keeping other program files such as CAD, Quickbooks etc… These file types will vary
dramatically so it is not possible to give an accurate assessment.
In our offices, our database computer has 750GB of storage. Our backup storage device has 500GB. We
are looking to upgrade to 1TB, however this is NOT required based upon your specific needs.
The general rule of thumb is “more is better”
Generally depends upon the size of the files maintained. There are several major factors to
Networking system:
use a standard “home networking solution” with a basic modem and router that you can purchase at

Depends upon how your office is configured. We keep it simple in our office and
RAM:
However 1 GB works well.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATING
KIXZO
Processor:
that is a Quad-core processor with 2.4 GHZ that we use to store the database, i.e our “server” however
this type of processor is not required. A dual core is ideal, but a Centrino will work. Generally the faster
the processor the better.
Generally the faster RAM and processor speed the better. Listed below is what we have in our offices.
