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:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
