    Minimum Profile

    The minimum recommended workstation profile for running MicroStation CONNECT Edition is:

    Processor Intel® or AMD® processor 1.0 GHz or greater. MicroStation is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2.
    Memory 4 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.
    Hard Disk 12 GB minimum, 12-22 GB depending additional installations such as Companion Feature and Companion Product.
    Video See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, MicroStation attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for MicroStation, see MicroStation System Requirements and Hardware Recommendations.
    Screen Resolution 1024 x 768 or higher.
