Building a good system. In general, you can be sure that any graphics card available today at a cost of slightly more than 40 euros can run the MXWendler vj-software. But do not expect wonders from this kind of hardware. (although we had impressive throughputs with ATI 9700 mobile devices).

A critical part is the disk. Video moves a lot of data. Full and fragmented notebook disks have horribly low performance. Get a raid, or at least defragment your drive and keep it at maximum 60% full.

Ram: it should be obvious that realtime vj-software with less than 512MB ram is almost impossible. Also, if you use resolutions above 320x240, get a GB of ram.

Feel free to ask by email if you have further questions. It is absolutely ok to ask if your systems are well configured to run our video software products.
