Hardware

Mapaz AB refers to the recommendations applicable to each operation system. Keep in mind that these often are the minimum requirements and therefore are often too low when several applications are used simultaneously on the computer.

What processor and the amount of system memory required to run Mapaz varies greatly depending on the operating system and additional software used on the computer. Newer operating systems normally require more memory and better processors than older operating systems.

A guideline is that a computer with Windows XP should have at least 1024MB of memory, preferably more. A computer with Windows 7 or Windows 8 should have at least 2048MB, preferably more.
