To use the data, audio, and video features of NetMeeting, your computer must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:
For Windows 2000, you need a Pentium 90MHz processor with 24MB of RAM (a Pentium 133MHz processor or better with at least 32MB of RAM is recommended).
You need 4MB of free hard disk space (an additional 10MB is needed during installation only to accommodate the initial setup files).
You need a 56,000bps or faster modem, ISDN, DSL, cable, or LAN connection.
You need a sound card with microphone and speakers (a sound card is required for both audio and video support).
You need a video capture card or camera that provides a Video for Windows capture driver (required for video support).
Because, as usual, Microsoft has integrated NetMeeting into other aspects of the operating system and browser, it's preferable to have Internet 4 or higher on your machine. (You'll have at least IE 5 with Windows 2000, so don't worry, but you might want to know this requirement for any Windows 9x machines you use.) NetMeeting-enabled sites are beginning to show up, and they'll work best with IE. Not surprisingly, therefore, NetMeeting is included with Microsoft Internet Explorer through many different distribution mechanisms.
The Macintosh, Linux, and UNIX platforms are still not supported although NetMeeting does allow you to interact with people using these platforms as long as they have compatible audio/video conferencing software and hardware.
