The recommended minimum system configuration to run this product is:
| Hardware |
Software |
|
| Processor | Intel® or AMD® processor 1.0 GHz or greater. MicroStation is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2. | Windows 8.1, 8, or 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 (Standard and Enterprise Editions, 64-bit) (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 9x, Windows XP and Windows Vista series are not supported) |
| Memory | 4 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models. Please refer to this article for information on optimizing the Windows virtual memory configuration settings. |
|
| Hard Disk | 8 GB free disk space (which includes the 5.6 GB install footprint for a complete installation) |
|
| Video | See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, MicroStation attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for MicroStation, see MicroStation System Requirements and Hardware Recommendations. |
