To use Arena, your system must meet the following hardware requirements:
Hard drive with 75-250MB free disk space (depending on operating system and options installed).
64MB RAM (recommended 128MB RAM or higher, depending on operating system).
Minimum Pentium® processor 300Mhz or higher. The Arena software can be run on single processor, dual processor, and dual-core processor computers; however, only one instance of Arena can be run at a time.
Note: The running and animation of Arena and some large simulation models can be calculation-intensive, so a faster processor with additional memory may result in significantly improved performance. In addition, a larger monitor and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 is recommended for improved animation viewing.
