    Study Notes

    CPU Requirements for Software Applications

    • A 64-bit application requires a 64-bit CPU to run effectively.
    • The CPU must also support the x86-64 architecture for compatibility with 64-bit software.

    Specific CPU Requirements

    • Certain applications may demand specific CPU features like multi-core support or high clock speeds for optimal performance.
    • CPUs with virtualization support may be necessary for running virtual machines or certain server applications.

    Storage Requirements for Software Applications

    • Storage requirements refer to the amount of disk space needed for installation and operation of software applications.
    • These requirements can include space for application files, user data, and additional resources or dependencies.

    Applications Needing Dedicated Graphics Cards

    • Graphic-intensive applications, such as video games, 3D modeling software, and professional video editing tools, often require a dedicated graphics card with its own video RAM.
    • This hardware aids in rendering high-resolution graphics and optimizing performance for demanding visual tasks.

    External Hardware Tokens

    • An external hardware token is a physical device used for authentication, enhancing security by generating one-time passwords or providing cryptographic keys.
    • They are commonly used in two-factor authentication setups for accessing secure systems.

    Setup Issues with the Computer

    • The setup may not proceed if the CPU architecture is incompatible with the software requirements or operating system.
    • Insufficient RAM, outdated drivers, or hardware limitations can also prevent successful installation or operation of applications.
