Hardware/Software Requirements The system requirements for QuickBooks vary a bit depending on the version of the program you use. Here are the minimum computer requirements for using QuickBooks Pro on a standalone machine: IBM-compatible 500MHz Pentium II or equivalent computer (1GHz Pentium III is recommended) 128MB of RAM (256MB is recommended) for a single user; 256MB of RAM (512MB is recommended) for multiple concurrent users A hard disk with 850MB of free disk space for the installation and additional space as needed for your company data 2x CD-ROM 256-color SVGA monitor An Internet connection with at least a 56Kbps modem is required if online features, including automatic updates, will be used Windows 2000/XP and Internet Explorer 6.0
Just for fun I dug back in my old manuals to compare programs. These were the system requirements back in 1992 when I started using QuickBooks: IBM XT, AT, PS/1, PS/2, or other IBM-compatible PC 640K of RAM A hard disk with 2MB of free disk space A floppy disk drive (either 5.25'' or 3.5'') DOS operating system, version 2.1 or later Monochrome or color monitor Mouse (optional)
