District:

1GHz Pentium PC or equivalent. The Access application is constrained by processor speed, so faster is much better. Desktop PCs with 3ghz processors are very cost effective now.
256mb RAM. 1gb of faster DDR memory improves performance.
Two 20gb or larger 7200 rpm IDE hard drives. The second drive will be used as a backup.
CDROM. A CDRW drive is preferred for off-site backups.
Two 100 Base-T network adapters. One is connected to internet and is one connected to district LAN.
100 megabit/sec connection to the district LAN. Avoid slow hubs or switches between the server and users.
128 megabit/sec or faster connection to internet with a fixed IP address. Internet users will be constrained by bandwidth so more throughput is better.
Printer for transfers and reports. A 16pg/min laser printer is ideal.
Windows 2000 Pro. Windows XP Pro, Windows 2000 or 2003 Server are also acceptable.
Access 2000 or Office 2000. Access 2002 or 2003 are also acceptable. We can also support running Access 97 or Access 97 and Access 2xxx in a mixed environment.
Symantec PC Anywhere for remote troubleshooting. (optional)
Norton Ghost to make image backups of the server. (optional)
Software firewall such as ISS BlackIce Protection or ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm Pro or a router. (required for web version only)
Norton Antivirus or equivalent, updated at least weekly. (optional)

School:

500mhz Pentium PC or equivalent. Access application is constrained by processor speed, so faster is better.
Windows 95/98/ME/2000 or XP.
64mb RAM for Windows 95/98. 128mb RAM for Windows ME/2000 or XP. 256mb improves performance.
Microsoft Access 2000. Access 2002, 2003, 97, Office 2000, XP, 2003 or 97 or runtime are acceptable.
