The minimum hardware requirements listed below will offer the use an acceptable performance.  We strongly recommend the use of latest technology available to achieve highest performance.

We encourage you to call your ProCAT sales professional if you have any questions on the hardware selection.    
Processor 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo and Intel Core i5 offer very good performance. Use an Intel Core i7 to achieve the best performance.   Intel Celeron, Core Solo, and Core i3 are not recommended.
Memory 2 GB is the minimum requirement for Winner.  4 GB is strongly recommended.  
Audio Audio interface ("sound") card.  This feature is available in most computers. An audio interface card and a very good quality microphone is needed for using the AudioTrack feature in realtime.  
Video Higher resolution screens offer a larger viewable area.  A 1024X768 resolution is a minimum requirement.  Higher density screens will make your viewing area more clear.
USB  USB ports enable a user to add external devices to a computer.  A minimum of two USB ports are required.  Additional ports may be introduced by using a USB hub.
Serial Port A minimum of two serial ports are needed for receiving "shorthand" notes from a writer and "feeding" realtime testimony to the attorney workstation (i.e. Denoto, CaseView, LiveNote, etc.).  Serial Port Adapter Required for any writer using cabling, and a new computer. ProCAT recommends products that use FTDI the chipset. See our online store for additional information.
Hard Drive The amount of the information you may store on your computer depends on the size of the hard drive.  Choose higher capacity hard drives (e.g., 750 GB, 1 TB, etc.) if you plan to use the digital audio recording feature of your Winner software.
