Below is a list of desktop and notebook computers with minimum specifications that DCC recommend. This equipment was carefully researched and selected to reduce the cost of administrative computing at Jackson State University. The intent is to create a stable, standardized, manageable, and cost-effective computing platform to run administrative computer applications. The Department of Computing and Communications will accomplish this by restructuring and simplifying the buying process and selecting computer hardware and software for optimal performance and price.<\/p>\n<p>For each computer, DCC has a custom set of standard software applications that we support. While it may be the case that other software appeals to you for purchase, choosing an alternative must be weighed against the fact that DCC cannot guarantee as high a level of support as would be provided with the recommended standard software.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it is important when purchasing equipment to consider the benefits of the University at large. Most of the cost of owning a computer comes from the maintenance and support of the device. To the extent that we are able to standardize on hardware and software configurations, enormous financial and operational benefits accrue to Jackson State University. Therefore, choosing to forego these recommended specifications is discouraged unless there is approval from the Department of Computing and Communications.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Computer Specifications<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Major Computer Manufacturer (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.):<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Processor (CPU Intel i7) or higher<br \/>\n\u2022 Memory (RAM 16GB)<br \/>\n\u2022 Solid State Hard Drive (250GB or larger)<br \/>\n\u2022 Network card (NIC) and RJ-45 cable and wireless adapter<br \/>\n\u2022 Operating system Windows 10 or current release<br \/>\n\u2022 Three (3) Year Warranty<br \/>\n\u2022 Monitor (22\u201d) or larger<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsums.edu\/informationtechnology\/files\/2014\/04\/PurchasingaComputer_RequestForm.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #009bde;\">Technology Purchase Request Form<\/span><\/a><\/strong> (PDF)<\/p>\n<p>Submit via email: Please save and email to occ@jsums.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purchasing a Computer The Department of Computing and Communications has developed this standard guide to assist faculty, staff, and administration in selecting computer hardware and software that is supported by Information Technology.
