ACE Dental Hardware Requirements

The ACE program will run quite well on almost any computer made in the last five years. It works well with Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 (both 32 bit and 64 bit). In addition, although dedicated servers are not needed, ACE will work well on Windows Server 2008 and 2012. 

While ACE works perfectly on Windows 8, most users experience far less frustration with Windows 7 or Windows 10. As a result,we strongly recommend Windows 7 or Windows 10 over Windows 8. 

Because ACE utilizes the Microsoft .NET Framework, the memory requirements for it will be the minimum for ACE. We would recommend a minimum of 2 GB with Windows 7/8/10, preferably 4 GB.

Monitors should have a resolution of at least 1280 x 1024. Higher resolutions will work better. Almost all screens in the ACE program are resizable to take advantage of greater resolutions. We do not recommend wide screens. These are good for watching movies, but are not good for business applications. To see a full day of appointments or a full report without scrolling, wide screens should be avoided.

ACE has minimal hard drive requirements. It will utilize less than 1 GB of hard drive space.
