VAPP HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

VAPP is designed to run on a standard VESA compliant SVGA card with hardware acceleration capability.  The software will take advantage of installed hardware to maximize the speed of presentation, so the ability to display high speed sequences of stimuli will depend in part on the type of computer and the installed options.

Presently, the only video cards on which VAPP has been thoroughly tested and is guaranteed to perform to specification are the ATI family of Mach 64 based devices, including the “Pro Turbo”, and “Xpert..” series.  AGP is fully supported through the Display Doctor.  You may get satisfatory performance from other video cards or not depending on their implementation of the VESA VBE accelerator standard.  The full list of video cards that are supported by the Scitech Display Doctor is on the Scitech web site at http://www.scitechsoft.com 

VAPP has been tested and works with Sound Blaster 16, 32AWE and 64AWE (Gold and Value) cards.  Other sound cards may not work if they are not Sound Blaster 16 compliant.
