Lisence backwards compatibility
« on: May 16, 2002, 01:39:51 pm »
Hiya,
Just a quick qu.
I have an older machine in my house and the specs on it are pretty low
(200 mmx with 64 megs of RAM).
I'm presuming this is too low for MJ8 so I was wondering if my lisence will work with any of the older versions that might be able to work on a lower spec machine?
Thanks.

There is no backward compatibility.  7.2 will do a lot of things without being licensed though.

are there any minimum requirement specs for all your versions?
Possibly even for versions older than 7.2?

If anything, MJ gets faster each version instead of slower, so MJ 8 is your best bet.  I would think a 200 would work fine for playing mp3's.  

Let us know what you find out....

Good question.  I just inherited an old Pentium 1 133 with 32 MEGS/RAM.  Is this enough to push any version of MJ?

the larger the database the more power you need.

but MJ8 is much faster than MJ6 in the database area.

at 133mhz i think you might fall asleep just booting it up and forget about playing music.

Media Jukebox 8 requires an MMX capable CPU, so a 133 probably won't cut it.

Not sure if you're in America or not, but you could probably find a faster Pentium MMX chip to drop on the board for $5 or $10...

Take care.
