To use Analytica, you need the following quite modest minimum configuration:

* Windows XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. To run Analytica 64-bit, you’ll need a 64-bit edition of Windows.
* Any Intel or AMD processor that can run Windows.
* 60 MB disk space.
* 1 GB RAM (16 GB recommended for large models with 64-bit edition).
* Color display with Mouse, touchpad or other pointer input device.

It helps to have a faster CPU, and, especially, more RAM for large models. Analytica 32-bit will benefit from up to 3 GB RAM if you have it, and Analytica 64-bit will benefit from all additional RAM. It is also handy to have a large screen, or even multiple screens, when working with a large model. With working with very large models in Analytica 64-bit, performance can be improved by configuring Windows to maintain its Virtual Memory page file on a Solid State Drive.
