  BM Ultrascope Requirements

  Posted by Stephane Pelletier on April 12, 2015 at 5:45 pm

  I know this topic has been posted here before but does the BM Ultrascope is still as finicky as it was before? All I can find online are posts from 2010 to 2013 it seems that product was hot from 2010 to 2012 then it just disappeared.
  Also the BM requirement’s list is so outdated that you can’t even find their listed GPUs even on eBay thats how old the list is.
  And far as CPU compatibility goes the requirements are pretty vague.

  Heres what I have
  -Dell OptiPlex 390 Quad 3.30Ghz Intel Core i3-2120 8Gb or RAM running Windows 7
  -GPU Zotac GT-740 I know the GPU is above the minimum requirements required by BM My only worries is the CPU I got the desktop for free I bought and installed Windows 7 and a Crucial 250Gb SSD drive just for that purpose.

  Can’t get any confirmation from BM if that desktop will work or not!!!!

  Heres their list of “approved” processors

  Processor
  • Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 Ghz or better
  • Intel i5-750 2.66 Ghz or better
  • Intel i7-860 2.8 Ghz or better

  Intel i3 3.50GHz is slightly better than the Core 2 Duo 2.5 Ghz but from what I red better doesn’t mean compatible when it comes down to the BM Ultrascope.

  Thanks
