System Requirements

Here’s what you need if you want to run InBloom:

Macintosh

• Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G3, G4, G5 processor or Intel processor
• 256MB of RAM
• PowerPC processor requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) or 10.4.5 (Tiger) (Intel processor requires Mac OS X 10.4.5)

Windows

• Pentium III 500MHz or higher
• 256MB of RAM
• SVGA (800 x 600) or higher resolution video adapter and display
• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4), Windows XP Professional Edition (Service Pack 2)

Networking InBloom

The hardware requirements for InBloom are minimal. The lowest machine recommended is a G4 Mac like a Mac mini or an eMac on the Mac side or a 1.5 ghz PC. And at the very least, look for a computer with a 5200 rpm hard drive; 7200 rpm is ideal.

If you have multiple users, we strongly recommend that you designate a Mac or PC to do only one thing – serve your InBloom data over the network. You may already have a ?le server. Don’t use this machine for both InBloom and your ?le server. Businesses with multiple point-of-sale cash registers would do well with a G5 Power Mac or Intel Mac Pro tower on the Mac side or a server-class PC.  These robust machines will provide top performance for your business.  If you have questions as to whether a particular computer would be appropriate for InBloom, send
