All versions of ShareScope work well on Intel Macs using Apple Bootcamp, VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop. 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).
