Hardware Requirements

• Physical Memory: Recommended 2 GB. Although 2 GB provides acceptable performance for many, increasing the available RAM improves performance, especially when there are multiple applications running simultaneously on the same machine. For spreadsheets with higher RAM utilization, consider using a 64-bit Microsoft Office installation.

• Processor Speed: 1 GHz processor. A faster processor may help performance if displays have complex calculations performed locally, but increasing the installed RAM is more likely to help with general performance.

• Hard Disk Space: 300 MB of empty space on the system drive for application files and registry entries. Also, consider the space necessary to install Microsoft Office (approximately 3 GB).
