Joost System Requirements

February 1st, 2007

Currently, the beta software runs only on Windows XP with Service Pack 2, however, with a few tweaks, people have gotten it to work on other operating systems such as Windows Vista.

Operating System

• Windows XP Service Pack 2
• DirectX 9.0c

Hardware

• Pentium 4 processor, 1GHz
• 512Mb or more RAM.
• A modern video card with DirectX support and at least 32Mb of VRAM.
• About 500 MB free disk space; The Joostâ„¢ software is a 10 MB download, expanding to 30-35 MB on disk. The remainder is used as a cache.

Internet connection

• Broadband/ADSL (1Mbit/s downstream, 512Kbit/s upstream recommended, although lower speeds may well work)
• 1 hour of viewing is 320 Megabytes downloaded and 105 Megabytes uploaded, which means that it will exhaust a 1 Gigabyte cap in 10 hours
• A modern video card with DirectX support and at least 32Mb of VRAM.
• About 500 MB free disk space; The Joostâ„¢ software is a 10 MB download, expanding to 30-35 MB on disk. The remainder is used as a cache.

Important Notes

• The application continues to run in the background after you close the main window.
• To stop using bandwidth, you need to exit the application entirely by right-clicking on the Joostâ„¢ icon in the system tray and choose Exit.
