Recommended Configuration for Students
If you are purchasing a new Apple Macintosh, you will want a model at least as capable as the following:
- G5 processor or Intel processor
- 512 MB memory
- 40 GB hard disk
- Mac OS 10.1 or higher
- Microsoft Office (recommended) or AppleWorks
Students who choose a laptop computer may want to add a wireless network card to the above configuration. With a laptop computer, an appropriate operating system (as recommended above), and wireless network capability (802.11g wireless protocol) users will have access to the Internet, library materials, and other services with no wires attached in many campus locations, including the Library, Old Main, the Student Center and many residence halls. The following Macintosh wireless network cards have been tested to be compatible with our network: Apple Airport and Airport Extreme
