Minimum System Requirements for Phoenix?

Post by DJGM »

So, what are they?

Are they much the same as, or similar to the minimum requirements for Mozilla?

I'd say they're pretty much the same as the requirements for Mozilla. Maybe a bit less.

Especially you will need less space on your harddisk ;-)

So, the RAM requirement is still 64MB then?

I certainly wouldn't use Phoenix or Mozilla with less than 64MB, but feel free to try. It may work for you.

Phoenix uses the same (or at least a very similar) amount of memory as Mozilla on my system.

Which OS with a GUI do you want to run with less than 64MB?

Win95?
It worked on my p75 with 8MB of EDO-RAM, back in the old days :)

Yeah, now that you're saying this... I was running OS/2 on a 486 with 16MB way back in time, and it was like being in heaven... :)

I've seen phoenix running on a P75 with 16 megs of ram. not a pretty sight, but it was still about as useable as any other modern Windows app is on a P75.

I was running GEOS on my Commodore 64 with 64k of memory.

It'd be interesting to see Phoenix on a Commodore 64, wouldn't it? :wink:

Hmm... it's supposed to be multi-OS portable...

Minimum System Requirements

Post by jparsons »

For what it's worth, I'm using an old computer with a 150MHz processor, and this is the first verison of Phoenix than I can use. The previous versions were simply too slow to even consider. This one, however, actually works well.
The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they ought.

I don't think this is possible, because C64 only supports 16 colors on screen, and most themes are using >256 colors.
