    Expedition hardware requirements

    I just bought a Dell i7 4 core processor, 16gb ram, 500 GB SSD and intel graphic card for the boat. I am a concern it so new all the programs won't work on this. It also 64 bit. Please help. Newbie. What about charts. What would work best on this machine? I did search for Hardware requirements, got nothing. 
    I started reading Will's book the Gentle Introduction. I started finding answers to my questions. But still, wondering about my graphics card. It is intel not Nivida's card. Will that make a difference.

    Re: Expedition hardware requirements

    That should definitely work well. Exp should work on most computers you can buy. Exp has relatively low memory requirements.

    The 4 core CPU is useful for drawing ENCs, weather etc as Exp will use more than one to generate the instructions for the GPU.

    In general, I prefer the Intel graphics for this. They just seem more reliable.

    Charts. Where are you based? Globally, C-Map 4D is a good option. In many countries (USA, Canada, Australia, NZ etc), official and often free ENCs and RNCs are available.
