3B system requirements

It is not worthwhile downloading 3B unless your Internet connection, computer and operating system meet the minimum system requirements. Please check that your system has the following:

Internet connection

• 3B is for broadband users only.

Computer

• PC-only (Mac and Unix coming soon)
• Pentium III or higher-specification processor
• Direct X 8.1 or greater
• Main memory: 256 MB minimum, 512 MB recommended
• Video card memory: 32 MB minimum
• Available hard disk space: minimum 1 GB, recommend 3 GB or more.

Operating system

• Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista
  (not Windows 98, sorry)

• No broadband yet?
  
  If you do not already have a broadband connection to the Internet with at least 512 Kbps - cable or DSL - it is not yet worthwhile downloading 3B.
