Donation of Equipment

The Dover / Sherborn Public Schools welcome the donation of computer equipment from the community.  However, there is a cost associated with upgrading the computers, loading software, and introducing them to our networks.  Therefore, a minimum computer configuration must be established for accepting donations.

The districts benefit most from the donation of several computers with the same configuration, particularly from companies that previously had the computers on networks.   Donations of a single computer will not necessarily be discouraged, but modern networks are most efficient with standardized platforms that can take advantage of disk imaging technology.

The minimum standard for a donated personal computer is a Pentium III processor, 256Mb of random access memory (RAM) and a 10 Gigabyte hard disk drive.
