Hardware Requirements

A workstation-class computer is sufficient hardware for the installation of Q. Any computer capable of running AutoCAD or SolidWorks is sufficient hardware for Q. Graphics card requirements are minimal as the applications run in a non-display mode.In order to primarily run MS Office conversions, any computer capable of running Word, PowerPoint and Excel applications will be sufficient.If the Bluebeam Q Server will be used as a Network PDF print host or to run Q Script Engine applications, any modern hardware platform will be sufficient. The Q Server has been tested with a wide range of computing environments from Core 2 Duo processors to the latest Core i7 processors. The minimal host OS memory requirements typically are the minimal requirement for running the Q Server. Generally the more memory available, the better overall system performance will be.
