	How reliable is Karbyte?
	With the help of our hardware and software tests on the current software solutions for business management and ERP (in Turkey), it is proved that Karbyte can handle quite more information and give responses much more quickly. The infrastructure of Karbyte makes it possible to use MS Access® or MS SQL Server® 2000 Desktop Edition for small/medium enterprises with low capacities. MySQL, other versions of MS SQL Server® 2000 and Oracle® are also offered for larger enterprises with higher volumes of data, more complex operations, and more users using the system. Karbyte’s liability depends on its compatibility with the ODBC 32-bit connections which most of the databases support today. This extends the limits of Karbyte to the limits of the hardware of server which its database is served on. So the answer to the question is: “How reliable ever your server is…” According to our tests on the computers with specifications mentioned below; even a database with 1.000.000 records does not create timing problems even on the free version of MS SQL Server® 2000, the Desktop Edition. Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP operating systems MS Access® 2000 or MS Access® 2000 Runtime for front-end Client: Intel Pentium® III CPU’s (~ 500MHz), 64MB RAM erver: Intel Pentium® IV Hyper-Threading CPU (2,8GHz), 512MB RAM

	Does Karbyte require me to configure any languages?
	Yes. The language setting which your computer use is called the ‘codepage’. In order Karbyte to function normally, this setting has to be set to ‘Turkish’. For Windows 98, you can find this setting in ‘config.sys’ and ‘autoexec.bat’ files. For Windows 2000 and XP, just click Start, then “Control Panel > Regional and Language Options”. On the ‘Regional and Language Options’ window, choose ‘Turkish’ from the ‘Standards and formats’ drop-down list. Then on the ‘Advanced’ tab choose Turkish again from the ‘Language for non-Unicode programs’ drop-down list. It may be an easier way for the IT professionals to do this is using the registry values. You can achieve this by changing the key at ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Codepage’ to ‘acp value = 1254’. In order to do this, you will need to have the ‘C_1254.nls’ file (which you can find in your Windows setup CD) within the folder ‘C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32’ and/or ‘C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM’. You can find more information related to codepages and Turkish codepage for your version of Windows in the guides provided with your operating system or from Microsoft.

	Does Karbyte effect/slow down my network speed?
	Karbyte is designed to bring less additional traffic to your network. Its query logic using Pass-Through queries makes it possible to leave the work load to server, leaving only the results to be submitted back to the client. As a result of this operation, almost the entire processing load is on the server and clients get results faster. To say it another way; as much as you upgrade your server, you can increase the number of Karbyte users by acquiring more licences.
