AbiWord: System Requirements

This document describes the system requirements we believe necessary in order for someone on run AbiWord reasonably on his/her computer. This is a rough guide, and you may run just fine on a lower-class system than what we describe, or run poorly on a higher-end system. As always, your mileage may vary. With that said, we hope for this to be useful:

Microsoft Windows:

• 486dx or better processor
• At least 16MB RAM
• Windows 95b or later

• Windows 95a has been known to work as well, but you need the update described at http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/WinFaqWindowsCOMCTL32DLL
