Each participant should bring their own laptop computer running Windows XP or Vista with a minimum 1 Gigabyte of RAM and 1.5 GHz processor. To determine these factors, right-click on the My Computer Icon and select "Properties". A page will display your computer hardware information. It is possible to increase the RAM inexpensively, but not possible to increase the processor speed without replacing the computer. If assistance is needed to obtain or upgrade a computer for the course, please contact CompTraining_Africa@sil.org
