50 Appendix B: Technical information
Technical information
This appendix contains information that might be useful when
installing your Matrox Meteor-II /Digital board.
Global information
■
Operating system: See your software manual for supported
versions of Microsoft Windows.
■
System requirements: A computer with a PCI bus and an
Intel Pentium processor (or equivalent) or better.
Some older systems use a core logic chipset (interfaces PCI
with Host memory) that has limited throughput capabilities.
Matrox Meteor-II might not be able to attain full
functionality on such systems. We recommend systems with
newer PCI chipsets, such as the Intel 440BX, 810, 815E, 820,
840, or 850. If you need more specific information regarding
potential problems, refer to Appendix A -
Troubleshooting
.
