Operating Systems
BookTrakker is designed to run on Windows; you can, however, run it
on a MAC after installing Windows - read info below:
PC
•
Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit)
• Windows
11
MAC
THREE CHOICES - ALL Require Windows to be installed. Performance
will vary, it is generally best to use a PC. Getting started on a Mac
can make sense, a PC will always perform better if you want better
performance after confirming the value of BookTrakker.
• Install and use a Windows emulator to use program, or
• Purchase an iMac with the Intel chip and install Windows 10 or 11
• Parallels Software or VMWare Fusion and install Windows 10 or
11

System Requirements
The faster the CPU, the more RAM you have
installed, the faster/larger the hard drive, or even an SSD, all this adds
up to much better performance, especially for larger databases. An SSD
(Solid State Drive) really speeds up the program, as there is no mechanical
searching for data. An SSD is similar to a giant memory chip. We
cannot stress enough how much of an impact on performance an SSD will have,
so we highly recommend them.
• Desktop - Intel or AMD processor less than 5 years old
(newer and faster is better) Larger databases require more CPU. We recommend at least an Intel 12th Generation Core i3 with SSD at
minimum - however a Core i5 or better is desired. AMD Ryzen 5000 and above CPUs
are a good alternative.
• Laptop - Intel or AMD processor less than 5 years old
(newer and faster is better) Larger databases require more CPU. We recommend at least a n Intel 10th Generation Core i5 with SSD at
minimum - however a Core i7 or better is desired. AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs
are a good alternative.
• At least 8 GB of RAM The more the
better.
• 50GB of available hard-disk space
• 1366 x 768 or higher screen resolution - HD (1920 x 1080) will
be a much better experience. Larger Monitors are always better.

Size
•
1.5 GB at installation. Database size will vary with number of
records stored.
Networking
•
1 GB/sec or better wired network.
WiFi is not officially supported due to lack of reliability and potential for poor performance.
