Operating system
VentaFax runs under the 32-bit MS Windows operating system family (Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000) and 64-bit MS Windows operating
system family (Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP).
Introductory comments
The figures given below do NOT take into account the additional requirements
imposed on the system by modems that utilize CPU resources intensively
(i.e. winmodems, softmodems and USB-modems). This can be very important
in estimating requirements, since a portion of the data processing is
performed by the modem driver (not by the modem itself), which is software
running under Windows. In addition, these estimates do NOT take into
account the impact that additional memory-resident applications (e.g.
antivirus monitors) would have on memory usage and CPU performance.
The data on processor clock speed is provided based on Intel processors
or AMD processor equivalents in terms of rating (i.e. the clock speed
specified in the name of the processor).
1-Line versions
Black-and-white faxes and sound
VentaFax does not place any extra demands on RAM or processor speed
as long as you are only receiving and sending black-and-white faxes
and voice messages. In this case the basic requirements are simply the
standard ones placed on the operating system and modem.
Color Faxes
Color faxes are supported only in Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista and Windows 7.
To work with color faxes you will need at least an 800 MHz processor
and 256 Mb of RAM or more.
Multi-Line versions
The data given in the tables below specifies system requirements at
maximum load, that is, when all lines are used simultaneously. We calculated
these figures from the standpoint of minimizing the probability of error
at peak CPU load. These requirements apply only to the VentaFax Engine.
If other applications are running concurrently with the reception or
transmission of faxes or voice messages, the requirements may need to
be increased.
Black-and-white faxes and sound
Each extra line requires an additional 9 Mb of RAM and a 60 MHz increase
in processor speed when compared with the requirements for single-line
versions.
The minimum requirements for working with black-and-white faxes and
voice messages are given in the table (for Windows XP).

To ensure maximum reliability of a multi-line version during intensive
operation, please follow these recommendations:
- use hard disks with an average random read/write speed of 5 Mb
or higher;
- perform disk caching;
- do not store transmission and reception folders (available under
the tab Folders and files - Service folders) on network drives;
- turn off energy-saving features available on modern computers which
slow down processor speed.
You can estimate whether your system supports a certain number of modems
by using a multi-line demo version of the program.
