Mitchell 1 recommends using business class computers. Although custom-built clone machines may run well, the majority of problems result from poorly engineered equipment. Mitchell 1 recommends using name brand business computers from Dell®, Compaq®, and HP®. 3COM® or Intel® cards are required for networking. Systems intended for five (5) or more concurrent users should consider a dedicated Windows server. Networks should be configured with at least one DVD drive software installation and or data copying. OnDemand5 (desktop), OnDemand5.com, Manager and ManagerPlus include optional training videos. Users wishing to view these videos will require a system configured with a sound card and speakers.
