1G of RAM is recommended. Close down other applications to have more system resources when working with Etudes.

You must have regular, reliable Internet access for satisfactory performance. Many courses require high-speed connections for interactive multimedia such as PowerPoint, Digital Video, etc. These requirements should also be stated in the course syllabus. If you don't have high-speed access, you might experience frustration with slow response, depending on the media and materials that your instructors have posted.
