Environments
CASES 5 is supported exclusively on PC's running Windows XP/2000. The minimum recommended configuration for an interviewing workstation is:
- Pentium III, 466Mhz, 55 MB free disk space, 64 MB of available memory*
The recommended configuration for an instrument designer's workstation is:
- Pentium III, 466Mhz, 55 MB free disk space, 96 MB of available memory*
The recommended configuration for a workstation for data entry/verification is:
- Pentium IV, 2.8Ghz, 55 MB free disk space, 96 MB of available memory* **
* Regardless of the total amount of memory on the PC, the figures for available memory represents how much memory is needed by CASES. For example, a Windowx XP PC with a total of 128 MB of memory works fine for an interviewing workstation provided that 64 MB of memory is left after loading the network client and all other programs which need to run simultaneously with QA. But if the other loaded programs leave less than 64 MB free memory, then the total amount of memory on the PC will have to be increased.
** This configuration is the minimum needed for 'heads down' data entry. There is evidence to indicate that Celeron processors, even those exceeding 2.8Ghz in speed, fail to perform up to expectations and should be avoided for CASES use. In general, you can expect performance as manifested in field to field speed, to increase with the speed and quality of the processor.
CASES 4 will run on a DOS (including a DOS box within Windows) or a UNIX platform. The platforms under which CASES 4 can be operated are:
- Personal Computer (PC)
- - MS-DOS 6.x
- - MS-DOS sessions in Windows 3.11, Windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP
- PC network servers
- - Netware 4.x, 5.x and 6.x
- - Windows Server 2000 and 2003
- UNIX platforms
- - DEC
- - Solaris 2.5 and higher
The PC version of CASES 4 is operated either in a purely DOS environment or a
DOS box under Microsoft Windows.
The minimum configuration for a PC running CASES 4:
- 486 33 Mhz with 8 megabytes of memory
- Approximately 4 megabytes of available memory

NOTE: Due to the Minimum Security Standards instituted on the Berkeley campus, all versions of CASES are now supported only under Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
