QuickBooks supports three different networking configurations, peer-to-peer, client-server and remote-desktop ( shown below). Now let’s look at networking practices coupled with system requirements to help overcome upgrade and performance issues. The increased processor and video requirements may necessitate changes to your hardware, or even a computer upgrade, when converting from 2014 to 2017. The video requirements in 2014 were 1020 by 768 screen resolution, as you can see for 2017 the requirement now is 1924 by 768 screen resolution. In 2014, only a 2.0 GHz processor was required, but a 2.4 GHz processor is required fir 2017. In 2014, the minimum RAM requirement for single-user was 1GB, so 2017 quadruples that requirement. Please note that the RAM requirement is the amount of RAM available to QuickBooks, not the total amount of RAM memory on your computer.
