In general, purchasers of 21st Century Accounting should follow the recommendation for all Windows users: when you buy computer hardware, get as much computing power as you can afford, especially as much memory as possible.

21st Century Accounting itself has a relatively small "footprint" in terms of disk space and memory requirements, but the Windows support for any application is memory-intensive. The more memory your computer has, the more satisfied you will be with the performance of all your applications, including 21st Century Accounting.

Networking performance also profits from lots of memory on the computer you use as your Server.

Access to the Internet lets you communicate with Hilbert Software from the 21st Century Accounting menu. You can visit our web site to download software upgrades and for information in general. Payroll users can download tax table updates as soon as they are available.
