System Requirements
The official system requirements for Windows 3.0:
- 8086/8088 processor or better
- 384K of free conventional memory (real mode, protected modes require more)
- Hard disk with 6-7MB of free space
- CGA/EGA/VGA/Hercules/8514/A graphics and an appropriate and compatible monitor
- MS-DOS version 3.1 or higher
Also, a Microsoft-compatible mouse is recommended.
Windows 3.0 cannot run in full color on 8086 machines because the EGA and VGA color drivers require a 286. Microsoft dropped support for the Tandy 1000 line by 1990, so a Tandy graphics driver was not provided for Windows 3.0, however, the Windows 2.x Tandy driver could be copied into the target system and used.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“The twentieth-century artist who uses symbols is alienated because the system of symbols is a private one. After you have dealt with the symbols you are still private, you are still lonely, because you are not sure anyone will understand it except yourself. The ransom of privacy is that you are alone.”
—Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)
