Apple Macintosh

• iMac 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo

• 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 2MB shared L2 cache

• ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB GDDR3 memory
• Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0

Please Note: In order to run NBS software using Apple Boot Camp users will require a bona fide full version of Microsoft Windows: XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3, Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate with Service Pack 2, Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate (no upgrade or multi-disc versions).

Although the software has been successfully tested on this platform we cannot guarantee that the software will react the same with another specification Mac. Therefore, we cannot guarantee performance of our software when using Windows on a Mac. Support will be limited for any customers using our software on Mac as we will not be able to determine that the encountered problems are due to our software or the system used.

Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP Service Pack 2

Microsoft state that these operating systems are outdated and can expose customers to security risks. NBS do not support these operating systems and recommend that customers who are still running the above upgrade to a newer, more secure Microsoft operating system, such as Windows 7, as soon as possible.
