Supported Databases	The database versions supported by Bentley Map are subject to updating after the product release. You can refer to the MicroStation database support in Bentley Communities for the latest information.

The minimum recommended workstation profile for running Bentley Map CONNECT Edition is:

Processor	Intel® or AMD® processor 1.0GHz or greater. Bentley Map is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2.
Memory	4 GB minimum, 16GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.
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 Direct X can be found, Bentley Map 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.
