Windows version
Ultra Fractal 4 is designed to run on any computer
with Windows Vista, XP, 2003, 2000, 98, or Me installed.
Windows 95 and NT 4 will also work, but are not
officially supported. Ultra Fractal 4 works best
with Windows Vista or Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Processor
Ultra Fractal will run on any Pentium-class processor,
but Core Duo, Pentium M, Pentium 4, or AMD Athlon processors
are recommended for best performance. Ultra Fractal
will take advantage of multi-processor systems,
so this is definitely recommended if you can afford
it.
Graphics
There are no special requirements for the video
card. Ultra Fractal does not use 3D acceleration.
A resolution of 1024x768 pixels or better is recommended
to work comfortably. It helps to have two monitors,
so you can keep the main window on one monitor
and the tool windows on another.
Memory
On Windows Vista, at least 512 MB is recommended. Windows XP requires 256 MB.
With Windows 98, 64 MB is also sufficient. More
memory will enable you to create larger fractals
with more layers. If you want to create large
flame fractals, or if you want to render large
images or animations with motion blur, 512 MB
or 1024 MB is better.
Disk space
Installing Ultra Fractal on your hard disk takes
less than 10 MB, but you will want to reserve extra
space to store fractals and rendered images. When
rendering animations, you need enough free disk
space for temporary data, depending on the length
and size of the animation. |
