SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
PC: The SVG documents in this book have been fully tested with the Adobe SVG viewer (version 3) on a 2GHz Pentium 4 PC with Windows XP. Roughly 20% of the SVG code was developed on a 166MHz PC (and 64MB of RAM) with the same version of the Adobe SVG viewer, and those documents were rendered with reasonable performance times. The minimum system requirements are: PC with a minimum Pentium III 500MHz processor (2GHz is strongly recommended); minimum of 64MB RAM (128MB recommended); CD-ROM drive; hard disk with at least 200MB free space if you want to install the entire contents of the CD-ROM on your machine; Windows 2000 or later; Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher
