=====Minimum Recommended Hardware Requirements=====

====Internet Connection====

  * Wired LAN (not wifi)
  * Minimum 5MBps bandwidth
  * Gigabit capable router

**Note:** when choosing an Internet service provider, we recommend that you find a provider who services business customers. You should get a business service with a minimum of 5Mbps bandwidth (more as your office grows). We do not recommend using residential Internet services as their quality is generally inferior to those offered to businesses.

====Switch====

  * You can use any gigabit capable switch. Remember that you need one (or more) to provide for sufficient ports to connect all your workstations.

====Workstation====

The suggested requirements listed below for PPro8 workstations are just a minimum. A more powerful machine will allow the user to open more tools and monitor more securities at the same time.

  * Recent Intel Core or AMD Ryzen series processor
  * 8+ GB DDR4 RAM 
  * 512GB - 1 TB NVMe SSD
  * Genuine and up to date Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 Operating System
