In order to install Freespire you must have:
- PC with 1 GHz processor
- 256 MB of RAM (512 MB or higher recommended for best performance)
- Note: with shared video 256 MB of RAM may result in a less than optimum experience, 512 MB is the minimum in those cases.
- Note: using emulators (Crossover Office, Parallels, Win4Lin, etc.) is RAM intensive, so minimum recommended is 512 MB (1 GB for optimum performance).
- Hard drive with 4 GB free space (for the OS - not including software installs)
- SVGA or higher resolution and monitor (3-D graphics accelerator card for some games, screen savers, etc.)
