it Will run "ok" on a core2duo cpu (2gig memory/180gig hdd)
its Not fast, even on the high end quad core.
BUT as the comms To the car are at a "slow" speed,, speed on the pc isnt really as much of an issue,

It is the recommendation of Volvo Car Customer Service that computer equipment
bought for VIDA should be possible to upgrade. It should be possible to increase RAM
and change hard drives easily to increase computer performance, if needed. Furthermore,
purchasing more memory will result in better performance since the use of
virtual memory is minimised.
Item Recommended specification
Processor > Dual Core 1.6 GHz (Laptop), Core i3 or equivalent1.
> Dual Core 2.6 GHz (Desktop), Core i5 or equivalent1.
Memory 4 GB
Local free disc space > 80 GB2
Networking Broadband connection
Connections 3 x USB 2.0 (One for DiCE, one for SWDL Special
Tool and one for future use.)3
Operating System Windows 7 Professional
Browser Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0
File System NTFS
Display resolution ≥1280 x 800 (Laptop)4
≥1280 x 1024 (Desktop)
Optical Unit DVD-ROM Dual Layer
1Name of processors is frequently changed. This is examples of what to use.
2This is the disc space that should be available before VIDA is installed. The recommendation
is based on the increase of used disc space over three years. If you have
other applications, allow extra space for these according to their requirements.
3Additional USBs can be needed for other equipment, such as mouse and keyboard.
4The VIDA application is developed for a 1280 x 1024 resolution, which is not readily
available in laptops. We believe that 1280 x 800 is the best compromise available at
this point in time. This means that when a 1280 x 800 resolution is used, vertical scroll
bars will be introduced. We do not believe that this will greatly impose on the functionality
or usability of the VIDA application.
