Hardware Recommendations

These computer specifications were created at the request of new Rice parents.  Although they apply to student computers, the specifications can be used as minimal requirements for departments as well.  Contact your IT support staff to determine if the minimal requirements will meet the unique needs of the faculty and staff in your department.
