Processor requirements for illustrator windows

i have a dell dimension 2100 w/512ram and an intel celeron processor. i didnt see it on the requirements list. will it work and if not can I upgrade it or replace it.

You did not mention which version of Illustrator you intend to run on your machine, but let's assume it's the latest -- version 13 (CS3).
If so, my advice to you is to buy a new PC.
Assuming you're running Windows XP or Vista, it is possible -- by a slim margin -- that Illustrator 13 will actually install and run on your machine. However, it will be an exercise in frustration.
The Celeron is just a feature-crippled Pentium, so it is, technically, a "compatible" processor. However, based on info I was able to dig up on the 2100, the fastest Pentium you can install is a 1GHz processor -- assuming you could even find a P3 processor.
At 512MB, you're already at your machine's maximum memory capacity, and that's woefully low for this kind of work, and especially for Illustrator.
My guess is that you're also working with a very slow hard drive that's running out of space.
Nope... don't even think about trying to upgrade your 2100. Donate it, whip out your credit card, and get a modern PC.

  • Processor requirements for PE8

    Hi.  I ordered a new computer which will be delivered this week.  I bought PE8 to use on it so I could burn HD video from a Canon Vixia HFS10 camcorder.  I just noticed, though, that it says the system requirements for PE8 include a 3.0 GHz processor.  My processor is only a 2.66 GHz.  But it is an I7-920 quad core processor with 9 GB of RAM.  Anybody know if I am going to have problems burning blu-rays with this?  I am going to run Windows 7.  Thanks.

    The processor speed listed in the minimum requirements is for a single core (Pentium) processor. Your quad core will likely runs several times faster than that and should be more than powerful enough to work with Premiere Elements.
    The bigger issue is that you list 6 gigs of RAM, which seems to imply that you'll be using the 64-bit version of Windows 7. There you might run into problems. Premiere Elements is a 32-bit application, and some people are experiencing problems trying to interface with 64-bit drivers for it on Windows 7.

  • Processor requirements for Safari?

    For my first foray into Apple Discussions, I am going to ask what is probably a very stupid question, but here goes...
    After updating the software on my OLD iMac at work (to OS 10.4.7, Safari 2.0.4), Safari will not launch. I get one of those "Safari unexpectedly quit-other applications not affected" error msgs every time. The guys from our IT department took a look and told me that this version of Safari will not run on a computer as old as mine. (I have exactly the same stuff on my iBook G4 at home and it works great.) They downloaded Firefox and told me to use that. Is this for real? Does Safari have processor requirements above and beyond the OS? Everything else seems to be working OK. And if it really is true, can I uninstall the new Safari and install an older version?
    Thanks!

  • Processor Requirement for SBS2008

    Hi there!
    A customer of mine is trying to install SBS2008 on a DL380e Gen8 server. Was reading thru the hardware requirements  from the Technet library and some questions came up.
    The hardware requirements would have been written some ways back, most probably referring to processors that were available when the OS came out.  So when it says the minimum requirement is for a 2ghz processor, does it specifically mean a single-core
    processor?  What would be the impact of today's multi-core processors?  For example, the DL380e Gen8 had a single E5-2403 quad-core processor running at 1.8ghz - will that still not meet the requirement and we will not be able to install SBS2008
    on it?
    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks, Larry.  My customer was having doubts because of the 2Ghz requirement that they saw here - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc527594%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
    I was assuring him that he may be looking at outdated requirements, and that the Xeon E5-2403 would be more than sufficient to run SBS2008.
    He was even hoping someone from Microsoft will be able to shed light on that.

  • System Requirements for installing Windows Advanced Server2003 & SapBW 3.0b

    Cud someone lemme know I want 2 install Win Adv Server'03 with Sap-BW 3.0b in my laptop. It has 100 gb hdd & 512 mb ram 1.73 Ghz m processor??

    Kiran,
    what is your question ? you want to know if you can install the same ? - the answer would be yes .. but then questions would be :
    1. What DB are you using ?
    2. What version of BW3.0b are you using ? - IDES or NON IDES ?
    refer the quicksizing document available on the support portal to estimate your memory requirements...
    Your memory looks very less... 500 MB would be enough only for the OS and Application - you will run out of memory for DB and other users ... 1 to 2 GB would be comfortable....
    Teh thumb rule for the same is :
    500 MB for Application and DB ( It depends on DB usage ...)
    300 MB per user ( front end + backend )
    Additional Memory requirement for OS....

  • Hardware Requirements for a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller.

    Hi,
    I have a secondary office with 10 users with a domain controller that has reached its end of life.  We like to upgrade the current hardware to serve as a domain controller and potentially as an onsite file server that will sync with head office during
    off peak business hours.
    Any recommendations for a low cost yet reliable hardware for the above solution ?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    I think you need to meet the requirement for upgrading to windows server 2012r2.

  • Size requirements for Bootcamp/Windows 7 partition?

    Hi,
    I partitioned my 256 GB flash drive with 60 GB for Bootcamp.  Then I installed Windows 7. 
    Windows explorer says that I have 2.83 GB of free space left on the Bootcamp partition!!!?  Can that be right?
    I checked Properties on all of the Bootcamp/C: drive top level folders.  They add up to about 27 GB.  Where's the rest of the space gone?
    Thanks!

    Just an additional note:  Apple Bootcamp Support states that, for 64-bit Windows 7, 20 GB of hard drive space is required.  I provided 60 GB. What happened to the other 35+ GB of space on that partition...?

  • Mac processor required for PSE 8

    Simple question for which I haven't found a straight answer:
    Will PSE 8 run on a G5 with OSX 10.5.8?

    No, sorry. If you look at the system requirements:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/systemreqs/
    the very first one is:
    Multi-core Intel® processor
    PSE 8 will not run on any PPC machine, which what your G5 has. PSE 6 should be fine, though.

  • Two clicks required for Safari window which is not currently the focus

    This is really starting to annoy me - I have a 17" powerbook so I can display two webpages side by side. I click on a link in one page and... ...nothing happens. If this page was not the current focus, my first click just changes the focus - i then have to click again to go to the link. Many times i sit there waiting for the display to update, only to find that it is not going to because it requires another click... Is there any way to make Safari take action on the first click on a window not currently in focus?

    I don't know of any way to allow this.
    Mail works the same way.
    using mail & safari windows side by side does the same, as does anything(?) that involves switching applications.
    It's just the links in safari that require one click to focus then one to activate - running two safari windows & clicking something in the toolbar or bookmarks bar on the 'other' window works just fine. As does clicking a 'button' within the page (like 'post message' on these boards,for example)
    I can only suggest letting Apple know what you think at http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/

  • Processor Requirements for using Photoshop on a laptop

    I am buying a laptop. There are inexpensive machines with the Celeron processor or the AMD-V series. These are both single core processors.
    A salesman at a computer store, Microcenter, said that Windows 7 is written for dual core processors and if I tried to use a single core processor for applications like Photoshop it would become very slow.
    Is he telling the truth? Also, he said that the AMD Ahtlon II processor runs hot. I had this problem years ago with AMD desktop processors. He said that the AMD Turion runs better.
    Also, can I go with a standard graphics card, or can I just use what comes with the computer. I purchased a Presario CQ56-115DX but have not taken it out of the box.
    The salesman was pushing me to upgrade to an Intel dual core chip.
    Thanks

    There's an old saying:  Good / Fast / Cheap - pick any two.
    Modern Windows depends on an unprecedented number of processes running simultaneously.  A multi-core processor is a good idea.

  • • Latest Pantone Libraries for Illustrator - Where can I download them?

    Hello -
    More and more we have to use "new" Pantone® referencies.
    But the problem is that we don't have those libraries on our computers.
    So where can I download them?
    Some times ago, I remember that we had encountered a problem with thoses new libraries.
    After insallting them, some Illustrator® files were corrupted!  
    Does someone know if it still the case?
    NB. We are still working with CS5.
    Thank you for your reply, have a nice day…
