the parallel port of the PC. However, a USB dongle is available as an
alternative on request.

For superior performance, the following hardware upgrades should be considered:
OpenGL graphics cards such as the 3dfx Wildcat and the FireGL range. These give
better hardware acceleration than the GeForce cards detailed above resulting in
smoother moving visuals and rendering.
Dual processor systems will continue to be usable during periods of complex
recalculation due to the spare CPU resource. The additonal CPU may also be used
by the solids modelling engine.
For larger models, additional memory is beneficial.
GRC Software is supplied on CDROM. There are no current plans to provide
software on DVDs.
GRC Ltd are happy to quote for the supply of a standard turnkey system suitable
for Paramarine. We are also happy to quote for turnkey systems based around PCs
that meet a higher specification where users have a particular requirement.
