Import information for the timing industry: Localized Race Timing and Lap Counting software is heavily mathematical and energy use intensive. So much so that race timing is much more demanding that that required for internet on the CLOUD, as retail users do. Professional Trades people know to bring the right tools to the job site. For race timers this means using proper computes and updated software. Today using the newest processors, operating systems, and updated RFID reader embedded software are critical. Be aware there is a robust industry that sells refurbished U.S. Government computers. Often these claim high end microprocessors such as Intel i7 when they actually are already at end of life. You can quickly identify such computers as their cost is less than $ 800.00. Use of these computers cause great harm, as the system may lock up after a large number of participants or laps are timed. The good news with Orbiter is your race is safe inside the RFID reader, and such a mess can be sorted out later. HOWEVER, the slower recovery of results may burn your participants and your event reputation. This is why Orbiter rental units only use new Intel 7 processors. As a timer, you should do the same. The risk of purchasing discount computers is not worth the cost. Especially when you can purchase good new computers from a reliable supplier. These are Best Buy, COSCTCO, Office Depot or from the timing manufacture like Orbiter itself. A tip is never purchase a new computer with less than an Intel i7 computer. Or, save money and rent a system for $ 495.00 from Orbiter.
