What kind of computer should I bring?
If you plan on bringing your own computer to use in the residence halls, you will need one with the following specifications:
- Processor: Any PC running either Windows XP or Windows Vista. We do not support systems older than this.
Also any Mac running no older than OSX.
- Network Card: A 10BaseT or 10/100BaseT Ethernet card (you cannot connect using a modem)
- Network Cable: An Ethernet cable rated for Category 5 use with RJ-45 ends. Do not attempt to use a telephone cord or other non-network cable with your computer.
- Software: Bring all of your operating system and software disks and serial numbers. CCIT cannot assist with software problems if you do not have your disks.
- Calculator: If going to be in the Natural Sciences Dept or the Math, Engineering, CS dept. the required calculator is the TI Voyage 200.
