  1. For superior performance, Autodesk recommends a supported 64-bit operating system, a supported 64-bit processor, and 12 GB RAM or higher.
  2. We recommend allowing Microsoft Windows to manage virtual memory, as needed. There should always be at least twice as much free hard disk space as system memory (RAM).
