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 PC and Macintosh computers.

System Requirements

MAC OS 9 or higher, through current MAC OS X
Windows 98, 2000, XP (Vista is not currently supported), Windows 7
64 MB RAM
1.3 GB for Teens, 700 MB for Kids, 800 MB for Staff
SB16 Compatible sound card, speakers, headphones
12x 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. DO NOT try to use it this way with students. Only do this if you are previewing the program in advance of making an investment in a bigger hard drive. Request the program on a flash drive if you are short on disk space.

To access the Ripple Effects web site:

Modem speed of at least 28.8 Kbytes/second.
