FAQ
 
What hardware do you use with your Kodu technology club?
  • HP Slim Line PC's circa 2003/2004
  • CPU: Intel Pentiuim P4 -- 2.6 Ghz
  • RAM: 1.25 GB
  • Video Card:  PNY NVidia 8400 GS 512MB PCI Low Profile
  • Note:  These PC's also have an AGP slim line slot as well, but we felt this PCI card was a better option given the limited selection available
  • Monitor:  CRT 1024x768
  • Headphones
  • Kodu resolution: 800x600 Full Screen
 

How does Kodu play on this computer?

  • Kodu runs very well with this setup
  • Given the age of these PC's, we would say the video card makes all the difference in the performance of Kodu, especially with Shader Model 3.0 for all of the effects

 

Do you use XBox controllers with Kodu?

  • Yes, we use wired XBox controllers for the PC. 
  • We do not use wireless controllers as there are too many students
