HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Following are the hardware requirements that are necessary for he computerized system to work efficiently and respond to the requests accordingly. 1. Monitor 2. Mouse 3. Keyboard 4. Motherboard 5. Processor 6. RAM 7. Hard Disk 8. Backup Devices 9. Laser Printer 10. Power Supply
Monitor
Monitor also called as VDU (Visual Display Unit) is a piece of electrical equipment which displays images and text on the screen generated from the video output of devices such as computers. There are many types of monitors but for the proposed system the 18 inch screen LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor will be the best choice. Reasons for Recommendation 1. It is capable of displaying screen resolution of 1280x1024 which is necessary for better results so that images could appear sharper and small font documents could be read easily. 2. LCD monitors strike the perfect balance between eye-catching design and optimum performance, rendering color and motion with incredible realism. 3. LCD monitors are energy efficient as they consume less amount of electricity than most others monitors.
Mouse
A mouse is a small device that a computer user pushes across a desk surface in order to point to a place on a display screen and to select one or more actions to take from that position. Mouse will
be required to scroll around the software and move through its screens. Optical mouse, would be the best choice for the proposed system.
Reasons for Recommendation 1. It allows the user for the fine control of a Graphical User Interface. 2. It is good in sensitivity and has high response rate. 3. The use of Optical mouse will prevent the dust from damaging the mouse, such as in the normal mouse where the ball gathers dust and mouse can not move easily.
Keyboard
The keyboard is the device that is used to input text into a computer. It consists of number of keys which are used to enter data and perform various functions on computer. Keyboard is very important requirement for the new system as it will be used to input data such as information of the passengers and tickets into the computer. The keyboard that has 106 keys with 12 functions keys is recommended. Palm rest feature will also be a good addition. Reasons for Recommendation 1. More technical features of the key board can be utilized such as F1 key for help in software. 2. Palm rest feature of the keyboard will be useful for tired users to alleviate neck and shoulder pain. 3. It makes it easier and efficient to type data into the computer.
Motherboard
The motherboard is the main component inside the case. It is a large rectangular board with integrated circuitry that connects the other parts of the computer including the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives (CD, DVD, hard disk, or any others) as well as any peripherals connected via the ports or the expansion slots. Asus P4S8X-MX Motherboard is recommended for the proposed system. Reasons for Recommendation
1. It is very cost-effective motherboard.
2. It has several useful integrated features, which include Support for Pentium 4 Processors, supports for Intel Hyper-Threading technology for super quick processing and minimum delays, and 4 USB 2.0 ports.
Processor
To run the operating system, application softwares and for carrying out other processes a Processor is required. The Intel processor, Pentium IV 2.0 Giga Hertz will be the best choice for the proposed system. Reasons for Recommendation 1. This is very fast processor so it will be useful in achieving the maximum performance of the software. 2. The user is facilitated and can perform multitasking and multi programming with excellent performance. 3. It will enable the system to have enough memory to load programs and reduce delays.
RAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) is the type of computer data storage. It the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's processor. RAM is used to hold both data and programs during processing. RAM of 512 MB space is recommended. Reasons for Recommendation 1. It has quite fast speed which will allow computer to load applications and programs quickly. 2. It will enable the smooth and efficient running of the system without any hang-ups.
Hard Disk
A hard disk drive (HDD), commonly referred to as a hard drive, hard disk, or fixed disk drive, is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. 40 GB hard disk will be suitable for the proposed system. Reasons for Recommendation 1. It can store much more data than floppy disk drives. 2. It can access and transmit the data faster. 3. It is built into a sealed unit to prevent contamination by dust and moisture.
Backup Devices
The proposed system will require regular backups of both data and programs for security reasons. For this there should be backup devices which will be used for the making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. For this, 4GB USB will be the best choice. Reasons for Recommendation 1. It has very large storage capacity and is non volatile as it can store data for long period of time. 2. It is portable device which means it can be carried from one place to another easily.
Laser Printer
A printer is required to print the tickets that are generated in the computerized system. The electronic ticket would be printed in front of the customer and given to him. I would recommend a laser printer according to the systems requirement.
Reasons for Recommendation 1. It is very fast as it can print up to 15 pages in 1 minute. 2. The printouts of laser printers are excellent and the noise level is also kept to a minimum.
Power Supply
A power supply unit (PSU) converts alternating current (AC) electric power to low-voltage DC power for the internal components of the computer. Some power supplies have a switch to change between 230 V and 115 V. ASUS ATX Power Supply of 350 Watts is recommended for the system. Reasons for Recommendation 1. Since the computer will be using a lot of heavy equipment e.g. heavy Processor, Ram etc, the system will require much more power therefore an ASUS ATX Power Supply of 350 Watts is recommended.
2. It has high level of power efficiency which will save money through the use of less overall electricity.
SOFTWARE REQIUREMENTS
Following is the list of the software that are required for the proposed system to work effceinty and properly. 1. 2. 3. 4. Operating System ( Windows XP) Database Package (Microsoft Access) Word Processing Software ( Microsoft Word) Anti-Virus Software (NOD 32)
1. The software is very user friendly. That is, every command and operation is simple and easy to operate and made easier through Wizards and, in case of problems the Help option provides with quick solutions. 2. It has strong links with Visual Basic so programming is much easier. 3. It is easy to make table, queries, relationship in it. 4. It is useful software for storing data, of all kinds, in an organized manner and with ease. 5. Microsoft Access also offers a Document Analyzer option with which the technical documentation can be completed in a small amount of time and with relative ease as compared to other packages.
