Needed system configurations
============================
Before you start working with ArtStudio you should take care that your
system meets the following minimum prerequisites for a correctly use.
Required hardware
-----------------
For working with ArtStudio you must have an AMIGA computer including
hard disc and at least Kickstart V2.0 with Workbench 2.1.
Your hard disc should be large enough and you should have at least 10 MB
disc space free. For the RAM it counts as a rule: "The more the better".
The really needed memory depends on individually using by the user.
See following examble:
- A picture in 800 * 600 in 24 bit (approx. 16,8 Mill. colours)
needs 1,440,000 bytes memory (approx. 1,37 MB).
- Further examble: A picture in 1280 * 1024 in 24 bit needs
3,932,160 bytes (approx. 3,75 MB).
You can see each picture needs several big memory blocks. But for
the normal users 4 MB FastRAM and 1 MB ChipRAM are enough. We
recommend 8 MB FastRAM and 2 MB ChipRAM for working with other
programs at the same time.
We recommend a graphic board or an AMIGA computer with AGA graphic
chip set but they are not necessary for working with ArtStudio.
Required software
-----------------
For working with ArtStudio you need the Workbench 2.1 or higher
versions. When using lower versions it could happens any mistakes
or system crashes and you will lose your datas.
AMIGA computer with included older system software are able for
updating with hardware and software upgrades, please ask your Amiga
dealer near you.
