system requirements for Sketchup

[alexht...@gmail.com]

I just need a basic rundown of what the system requirements are in order to run on my computer.  What version of windows, graphics card capabilities, etc.  Any help is much appreciated.

I have a 5 year old PC with 4 GB of RAM, i7 Intel processor running Windows 7 64 bit configuration and everything works fine.  I don't have any special graphics card, just the one that came on the mother board.  My Dell laptop works with less computer power with an i5 Intel Processor running Windows 7 64 bit configuration and 4 gigs of RAM.  All works well  I don't have any experience trying SketchUp on a Mac but my friends who have Macs use it without fuss. Unlike AutoCad, I don't believe you need a super fast graphics card.  Of course the more RAM you have in either the graphics card or operating system, the faster it would run.  I don't know of anyone still using Windows Xp as that is no longer supported by MS.  Also Vista has not been a big favorite for the more graphical programs.  I'd advise you to upgrade to Windows 7 if you're running Vista.
