System Requirements
- Operating system: Windows 7, Vista, XP, ME, or 2000. (We do not offer an Apple OSX version. To express interest, email
. DietPower will run on a Mac equipped with Windows XP or PC-emulator software
such as Virtual PC.)
- Disk space: at least one gigabyte.
- Memory: at least 256 megabytes of random-access memory (RAM).
- Display: at least 1024 x 768 pixels. (Although it works well on standard laptops, DietPower is unsuitable for many of the newer, smaller "netbook" computers.

- Internet access: needed only for downloading the program initially (unless you buy it on a CD); for downloading occasional free updates; or for reading Help, tutorials, nutrition news, and lesser features. The program itself resides on your hard drive.
