• Note: Higher bit-rate content will not perform well on a lower-end Macintosh with a minimum amount of RAM. We recommend playing higher bit-rate content on a Macintosh with a 233 MHz (or faster) PowerPC G3 processor (e.g., iMac, iBook, or G3 and G4 models).
• We recommend that you use RealPlayer 8 with Virtual Memory turned on and allocated to at least 65 MB.
• As a general rule, please do not run many programs while using RealPlayer 8 for Macintosh with high bit-rate content.
