well that's good cause it's only 300. and my old ass laptop wont run it I installed and and then in German it told me it wouldn't run and then closed up. I was worried the processing speed wouldn't be enough cause I thought it had to be over 2ghz and this laptop is only rated at 1.8.

You do know that computer is at least 7 years old? I know nothing about the software you are trying to run. But the computer is old.

7 years old... as long as the drivers are compatible it should run it.

As its windows 7 pro should have no problem with existing software.



Note: if your buying this computer... I won't recommend it...sorry for the confusion.

For under $100 maybe. For $300 NO.
If you are only using it for this software. Go for it for under $100. If you are planning on it for other uses,skip it.

As you read that requirement. That first line is what I'm worried about, it say the minimum requirement is hard coded into the program...it means the ista+ program will scan your computer for installation variables. So, I'm going to say here that it won't install at all.

If it wasn't for that first line. The program can be installed and run but you just going to have longer loading time.

I would say NO. That laptop will not run it
