IMPORTANT:- MINIMUM HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS FOR DELCAM PRODUCTS
Processors
Processor manufacturers are continually developing better and faster chips with enhanced functionality and new features. In 2001, Intel introduced the SSE2 instruction set,which improves the calculation of floating point numbers. AMD introduced the same functionality very soon afterwards.

Delcam’s products are also being continually developed to give customers the best possible performance, using the best available hardware. Future versions of all Delcam products will require processors that support the SSE2 instruction set.
What Does This Mean for You?
If the processor in your computer does not support SSE2 instructions you will not be able to run future versions of your Delcam software. Your existing software will continue to run as it does today.
What Should You Do?
The most important thing is to find outif your computer supports SSE2 (if you do not already know). If your current hardware is less than five years old it should be fine, but you can check by running a small test program.

If your computer does not pass this test, you should upgrade your hardware as soon as possible.
Operating Systems
If you are considering upgrading your hardware, please also remember that Microsoft will be releasing Windows7 at about the same time as we are making these changes. You should ensure that any new hardware, especially graphics cards and other devices, is fully compatible with this new Operating System.
Delcam products should run on Windows 7 without any issues.However, we strongly advise that you upgrade to the 64-bit Windows 7 OS in order to take full advantage of future product releases and support for 64-bit versions of our software.
