System Requirements

[amberb]

All the information I've seen indicates that the minimum system requirements include P4 1.4 GHz processor with 512 MB RAM and recommended system requirements of P4 1.7 GHz processor. Is this really the minimum requirements? If so, why didn't Autodesk warn us about this six months ago so those of us who still have a few P3's would have time to convince the brass that more money would have to be spent in the near future for hardware upgrades?

Hi Amber -

ABS 2004 will run on a PIII. With the system requirements listed we tried to
be realistic about what users "should" have.

There is nothing in the installer that will prevent users from running on a
PIII machine, or running on a machine with less memory, but there will be
performance issues.
