System Requirements for Ripple Effects Software

Because each program has so much content, especially audio and video, each needs a lot of storage memory on your computer hard drive. That's likely to be the toughest requirement to meet.

All products work on Macintosh and PC computers.

System Requirements

MAC OS 7.6 or higher, MAC OS X is in native mode (i.e., not Classic)
Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP PCs
64 MB RAM
1.3 GB recommended for Teens and Kids, 700 MB for Coach for Implementers
SB16 Compatible sound card, speakers
6x CD-ROM or DVD drive
color monitor
QuickTime 6 or higher (included)

Note: There is an option to set up the program if you have only 32 MB of free hard drive space, but we don't recommend it: it makes playback very difficult. Only do this if you are previewing the program in advance of making an investment in a bigger hard drive! DO NOT try to use it this way with students.
