Minimum display time of any page = 5 second. I have no precise idea about how such a configuration will be. An estimate based on intuition: a dual (extensible to quad) processor Intel computer with 1GB RAM and a min 30GB HDD 7200rpm. But intuition is not an argument Thank you in advance and all the best, Mike ________________________________________________________________ Mihai AFTENI E-mail: mafteni @ bizein.com general manager, partner mobile: Int + 40 93 23 77 10 EXPRESS INTEGRATOR SRL Developer and owner of http://www.bizein.com Smart B2B Portal where you can BUY, SELL, INVENT, ADVERTIZE, BID, OFFER DESIGN, PROJECT, INVEST, LEARN, etc. Bucharest, ROMANIA Tel/fax: Int + 40 1 420 58 54
