Pro 14 & Minimum System Requirements & Pier Foundations

[David J. Potter]

I have Pro 9 on my laptop (it is an old HP G70-250, 2 Ghz, dual core Pentium), I also have Chief Architect Premier X4, X5 and X6 on that same laptop. If you will look at my "Signature" line, you will see the specs of my main desktop PC and what I run on it.

Those applications run fine on it, they run even better on my desktop which has more RAM, a good video card and an SSD. I prefer to work on my desktop but both serve me well, I use the laptop mainly as a second PC for field work. The point is I use both and both work.

The idea that you must buy a new PC when you upgrade your software is not true. What is true is that more up to date hardware will give you better performance per unit of time that older hardware but that is all there is to that.
