 ===== Compatible with external graphics cards =====
-Presently Aster operates with all video cards based on ATI/Nvidia/Intel chipsets. Monitors may be connected also via external USB video adapters on chipsets from [[http://frescologic.com/products_show.php?ms=3|FrescoLogic]] (Win7/8/10) and DispalyLink (Win10 only!), and as a [[https://www.ibik.ru/widi|wireless monitor (WiDi)]] (Miracast/WiDi). Others external USB video adapters as well as software emulations of displays (alike AirDisplay or IDisplay) was not tested.

 Features of using display-only devices :
-  * Do not assign the monitor only device to the first work place because when the computer starts the devices may not be ready and can cause issue with starting workplaces  ;

   * Workplaces should be started only after the operating system is fully loaded and then monitors are ready, otherwise the automatic starting of the workplaces may not work when the PC is turned on;
   * You can start the seats manually with the "Start work places" button.

 ===== What are system requirements to PC with the installed ASTER software? =====

 Otherwise, if the notebook uses both video adapter types you will not be able to employ the discrete video card for ASTER needs.

 There exists the formal support of server systems starting from 2008 R2 however ASTER has not been tested with them, and the correct performance of all server functions is not guaranteed. The user undertakes a commitment to perform preliminary testing of the required server functionality with ASTER.

 Accordingly, an approximate minimum amount of RAM for Win 7/8/10 per 6 users will as follows:
-Gb (for OS) +500*6 = 4 Gb
+GB (for OS) +2 GB * 6 + 2 GB (Spare for System use) = 16 GB

 RAM is an easily scalable PC resource since at any moment a couple of RAM-cards may be added, and if the mother card lacks additional slots, the oversize modules can be used instead. However the best of all would be to follow the rule "the more RAM the better", naturally within reasonable limits. However for x32 OS versions more than 4 Gb cannot be used anyway, and due to redundancy of the part of address space for video RAM, the amount of accessible memory in OS can decrease to 3 Gb and less. So launching more than two ASTER workplaces on x32 systems may result in deficiency in RAM for resource-intensive application execution.
