Items You Will Need that Are Not Included
To use your SW1000XG sound card and the included software, you will also need the following
hardware and software:
Computer: CPU/Memory An IBM compatible personal computer
with a 166 MHz or higher Pentium CPU,
and at least 32 MB of memory.
Hard Disk To use the software included with
SW1000XG, the software and drivers must
be installed. To install and use the soft-
ware, at least 20 MB of hard disk space is
required.
CD-ROM Drive All the software that came with your sound
card is included on the supplied CD-ROM.
To install the software and to read the
demo songs, a CD-ROM drive is required.
Mouse Operations in the included software are
mainly done using a mouse.
PCI Expansion Slot To install the sound card, an empty PCI
slot is required.
Operating System Windows 95 is required.
If the Windows 95 version installed on your computer is OSR2 or higher, you can use IRQ shar-
ing. Because versions of Windows 95 earlier than that do not allow IRQ sharing, conflicts with
other boards may happen or installation may not be possible. Should this occur, change the IRQ
settings or remove the conflicting board.
n You can check which version of Windows 95 is installed on your computer by clicking [My Computer], then
[Control Panel], then [System]. If the version number displayed on the [General] page is 4.00.950 B, you have OSR2.
If the number is 4.00.950 or 4.00.950 A, you have a previous version of Windows 95.
