Joost System Requirements
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.
