JDS requires modest hardware resources. Sun Microsystems provides for both a minimum supported configuration and a recommended one. The minimum supported configuration uses an Intel Pentium II 266 MHz-compatible processor and a 4 GB hard disk, and 128 MB RAM and a color monitor with at least an 800 600 screen resolution.
Sun recommends a Pentium III compatible processor, 600 MHz or faster, at least a 4 GB hard disk, at least 256 MB RAM, and a 1,024 768 screen resolution, or better. More details on system requirements appear in Appendix F.
