NOTES:

The Graphics hardware column contains items that we have tried or know have been tried. Theoretically, ProductView should run on any OpenGL capable or Windows NT supported Graphics Card.
The Graphics Server should not be installed on an ATI Rage Mobility 128 graphics card. This is due to display driver issues that arise and prevent the proper functioning of ProductView, Pro/ENGINEER and other OpenGL applications on the Graphics Server machine that has this graphics card installed.
The Graphics Server currently only runs on Windows NT workstation or Windows NT Server.
Please refer to Graphics Server User Guide ("Installing Web Server" section) for service pack recommendation.
Using a Multi-processor machine will increase performance of the Graphics Server.
Hardware configuration of Graphics Server will depend on the number of concurrent users accessing the system. Here is a recommendation.
Graphics Server Hardware Recommendations:

Number of THICK Client concurrent users	Configuration (Most data is already converted and resides in EDR)	Configuration (Most data requires on-line publishing and storage in EDR)
Less than 20	300Mhz, 256 Mb RAM	Dual processor, 300Mhz, 256 Mb RAM
20-40	300+ Mhz, 256 Mb RAM	Dual processor, 300+Mhz, 256 Mb RAM
40-80	300+ Mhz, 512 Mb RAM	Quad processor, 300Mhz, 256 Mb RAM
80-100	Dual processor, 300Mhz, 512 Mb RAM	Quad processor, 300+ Mhz, 512 Mb RAM
100+	Dual processor, 300+ Mhz, 1GB RAM	Quad processor, 300+Mhz, 1GB RAM
