Notes:

 

FCS Express 5 takes advantage of many features that are available in higher end Intel Chips. For optimum performance, use the newest generation processors. For example, an i7 will significantly outperform an i5 even if the number of cores and clock speed of the processors are equivalent.

 

FCS Express 5 can take advantage of all cores in the computer. Thus, while not required, a multi-core computer will be significantly faster than a single core computer for many functions.

 

FCS Express 5 (32 bit)  will use up to 3 GB of RAM on 32 bit Windows and 4 GB of RAM on 64 bit Windows.

 

FCS Express 5 (64 bit)  will use up to 128 GB on 64 bit Windows.
