Computer Recommendations for Westminster Students

If you are bringing a computer to campus, please review our recommendations below so that you will have optimum access to the Internet, network resources, and our highest level of support.

Operating Systems

Westminster has standardized on IBM PC-compatible computers for campus workstations. We do not support Apple Macintosh or Linux but will provide you with the necessary network information to configure your system yourself. For residential computers, we support the following operating systems:

Windows ME
Windows 2000
Windows XP

Processor and Memory

Your computer should have at least a Pentium III class processor with a minimum of 64 MB of RAM (more is better).

Software

We do not require any mandatory software for students. However, Westminster uses and supports the following main software suites and there are obvious advantages to having the same software as the college:

Microsoft Office 2003 (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) for desktop applications
Internet Explorer for browsing the Internet
