System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you
are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you will find the Windows 8 (64 bit) operating system
is supported.
Note: In order to run Windows 8 without limitations or decreased performance, your computer requires a mini-
mum 1GB of system memory (RAM).
RAID & AHCI Setup
Note that setting up a RAID, or AHCI mode, needs to be done prior to installing the Windows OS (see “Setting
Up SATA RAID or AHCI Mode” on page 7 - 2).
Windows 8 OS
In order to run Windows 8 (64 bit) without limitations or decreased performance, your computer requires a minimum 2GB
of system memory (RAM).
