Hardware requirements/recommendations
-------------------------------------
   Pentium III or later for Windows or Linux 
   or
   Sun UltraSPARC-based Workstation for Solaris
   Color display capable of 1024 X 768 pixel resolution
   DVD-ROM drive
   One or more of the following I/O ports:
   -  USB port (if using Windows XP or Windows 2000) for 
      USB-Blaster(TM) or MasterBlaster(TM) 
      communications cables, or APU programming unit
   -  Parallel port for ByteBlasterMV(TM) or 
      ByteBlaster(TM) II download cables
   -  Serial port for MasterBlaster communications cable

Memory requirements/recommendations
-----------------------------------
A full installation of the Altera Complete Design Suite version 
7.1 Service Pack 1 requires approximately 5 GB of available disk 
space on the drive or partition where you are installing the 
Altera Complete Design Suite and approximately 30 MB of available 
space on the drive that contains your TEMP directory (Windows only).

The Quartus II Stand-Alone Programmer requires a minimum of 1 GB
of RAM plus additional memory based on the size and number of SOF
files and the size and number of devices being configured.

Altera recommends that your system be configured to provide swap
space (virtual memory) equal to the recommended physical RAM that
is required to process your design.

The following table shows the memory required to process designs
targeted for Altera devices:

Device                                   Recommended Physical RAM
                                         32-bit            64-bit
