Hardware Requirements
Many vendors have taken a shortcut to the Windows environment by converting old DOS programs to give them a Windows “look and feel” while remaining essentially the same menu-driven programs underneath. The Broker’s Workstation is a true 32 bit Windows program. All modules are designed from the ground up for the speed, stability and security of the Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP operating systems. The Broker’s Workstation is written in Visual Basic 6 on MS SQL Server 2000 or MS Access.

The Broker’s Workstation will operate using the Minimum Requirements if using existing hardware or upgrading hardware components. If you are purchasing new hardware, please refer to the Recommended column.
