System Requirements for Peachtree Quantum

Peachtree Quantum is one of the most advanced pieces of software available … it may only be a number cruncher, but it can do more crunching in a single minute than most people could do in ten years! As a comprehensive and multipurpose program, Peachtree Quantum also has some of the more stringent hardware requirements among the Sage Accounting software family. If you've decided you need the enormous range of functions that Peachtree Quantum provides, today we run through how you'll need to set up your computing system in advance.

System Requirements

The recommended processor speed to run Peachtree Quantum efficiently is a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 processor (or equivalent) for a single user workstation, or 3.4GHz Pentium 4 for a Quantum Server, to allow for multiple users. Remember that the recommended requirements aren't just there for looks ... if you want to minimize the chance of experiencing data loss when your computer gets stressed or when doing a large run of calculations, the recommended requirements become the required ones!

At an absolute minimum, though, Peachtree Quantum Sage accounting software will need:

• 1GHz Pentium 3 or equiva;ent -- although you'll notice a big difference in performance when running at the minimum
