2. How fast are the lab computers?

The college is planning to upgrade all lab and classroom computers to Windows 7 OS. Currently the lab computers are running Windows XP Pro on processors ranging from 1.8 to Intel Core 2 Quad with RAM from 1GB to 4GB. All computers have 40GB to 160GB SATA drive and CD/DVD RW drives. Convenient USB port access is also available for using personal thumb drives.

3. What is the data storage policy on lab computers?

All lab computers have special software Deep Freeze which prevents any files to be stored locally on the computers. A simple restart removes all documents from the computers and brings back the computers to its original state. Therefore, save your file/document on an USB drive or email to yourself while working in the computer labs on campus.
