The minimum hardware required is a 350MHz processor. You should have at least 2GB of free hard drive space, and more will increase your efficiency. We find that Windows 98 can misbehave and cause random problems with less than 64MB of RAM. We recommned 128MB for your workstation.
Standard CDRecorders will NOT write the CDG format. You will need a drive from our list at:

However, please be aware of the warnings we have on this page. If you want to make master discs for production, you really should purchase one of our 12x or 16x CDRecorders that are certified to read and write the CDG format.
