*The Echo Reporter has
found that none of the hard
drives that were tested meet
minimum performance
standards with respect to
transfer rate. Though your
system supports the Echo
line of sound cards, we
recommend that you
upgrade your hard drive(s),
as your existing drive(s) are
not capable of sustaining
the minimum transfer rates
required for reasonable
performance
Your computer has no
physical hard drives that test
at a transfer rate better than
500Kb/second. This will
seriously hinder the
performance of Darla24 and
will greatly limit the
activities that you can
perform.
First, verify that 32-bit disk
access is enabled. This is
done under the heading
Performance
in
System
Properties
. The only other
solution is to add a faster
hard disk to your system.
*The Echo Reporter has
found that your system may
not be equipped with a
Pentium
(or faster)
processor. The algorithm
we are using for processor
detection is known to return
faulty values for many of
the AMD, Cyrix, and other
non-Intel chips, so be sure
to double-check this
warning against processor
identification that your
machine displays each time
you boot up. It is essential
that your machine be
equipped with an Intel
Pentium
or Pentium II
processor.
Your computer appears to
have a microprocessor that
is not fast enough to
properly carry out the
necessary operations. If
your computer’s
microprocessor is
characterized as “Pentium-
class,” you may want to go
ahead and try working with
Darla24 to see if your
results are satisfactory.
The only way to fix this
problem is to upgrade your
microprocessor to an Intel
Pentium
or Pentium II
processor.
