Answers Database Alliance 1.4/1.5: Operating system, disk space, memory and swap space requirements Record #3453 Problem Title: Alliance 1.4/1.5: Operating system, disk space, memory and swap space requirements Problem Description: Urgency: Standard amounts of memory (RAM), size of swap space (virtual memory) and disk space required to properly run the M1 software. Note: This information is meant to be a guideline. Some designs may require more memory and/or swap space especially if they contain several "tight" timing specifications. Disk space sizes are also approximate. Actual disk space may be slightly more or less than specified here.
