All versions of ShareScope work well on Intel Macs using Apple Bootcamp, VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop. Please note, 4GB of memory is recommended for users of Parallels version 5600.

If you have a Power PC Mac you can use windows emulation software such as Virtual PC for Mac. You will still need a copy of Windows XP (or 2000 with Power PC Macs) and we would recommend checking the minimum system.

If you are purchasing a new computer we would recommend a minimum of 512 – 1024 MB of RAM and 2GHz P4 or Core Duo; or a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo; or a 3GHz Celeron.

If you are unsure about your system specification, you can use a system info utility. Click here to download (60K).
