Microsoft supports the following minimum client hardware requirements, server recommendations, and Terminal Services minimum hardware requirements for Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Feature Pack 1. (Note that the server recommendations are not the minimum server requirements.) The specific hardware that you will need for your configurations depends on environmental factors. To achieve individual performance expectations, you may need to increase these recommendations.
Customers currently using Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 can refer to the Knowledge Base documents linked to below for more detailed information. Knowledge Base (KB) is part of CustomerSource and is a secure site available to customers on a service plan.
