Spectral deconvolution is a processor-intense operation. Most of our tests reveal that speed is linearly related to processor clock speed. Therefore, a fast microprocessor (e.g., >2GHz Pentium 4 or dual core CPU) is best if you want fast execution times or if you are processing complex spectra.
Note: ProMass does not include web server software. A web server is not required if you want to view your results on a local machine. However, if you want to share your data with others over the internet or intranet you will need a web server.
