SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• PC running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or later

• A processor running at 1.6GHz or faster

• An Internet connection

• At least 1GB of RAM

• At least 3GB of available hard disk space

• A DVD-ROM drive

You may be able to run Visual Studio using a slower processor or with less memory, but things may be slow. I highly recommend more memory, 2GB or even more if possible. (I do fairly well with an Intel Core 2 system running Windows 7 at 1.83GHz with 2GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive.)
