Logos 5 runs incredibly smooth and incredibly quick on my i7 Acer (8 G Ram).... (soon 2 years old)
Is there any reason whatsoever I should be thinking of Windows 8?
At Staples and Best Buy it is about 70.00 for Windows 8 Pro!

I don't know the official recommendation (which You can find or someone else can tell You), but based on experience:
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz. Or Intel i5 second or third generation or better any GHz. Or equivalent AMD with two cores and four threads, GHz I don't know since I'm not very experience when it comes to AMD - just read from others that AMD is often a better sollution.
- SSD minimum 83 GB formated - but that is really a bare minimum and calculated assuming that You don't have many different software on Your computer (which I myself for example don't have) and that You install as much as possible on another drive which can be a HDD. Not HDD or hybrid HDD/SSD. Plus a HDD minimum 120 GB, preferably higher especially if You want to store a lot of data and have all kinds of things on Your computer and high rpm (7,200 or 10,000), for My Documents, programs that don't need to run fast, media files and perhaps Office.
- RAM: 6 GB 1024 GHz.
- CHECK THE SYSTEM BUS GHz - it should be as high as possible!
- Minimum recommended monitor 1440x1024 pixel or 1600x1024 pixel depending on how many resources You want to have open simultaneously. Size in inch doesn't matter.
- Windows 7 any edition or Windows 8 final release (not beta) on a real computer.
Microsoft Word 2010 (can be purchased separately). - If You run a laptop: an external DVD-drive, especially if You purchase Logos items that come on a DVD or You have a slow internet connection and want to do the installation from a DVD. Speed of the drive doesn't matter.
EDIT: WATCH OUT: If You often use dictionaries and highlighting, the official recommendation 1280x1024 pixel monitor is really insufficient! Also true if You want to view two books at a time on the monitor.

For anyone interested, here is a link from Microsoft that states the minimum requirements of W8. Keep in mind that Microsoft has always based their requirements on the software in question, and does not take into account requirements of other software. Also, Microsoft's minimum requirements are just that (the bare minimum) and does not take into account user experience, so your machine will run with the minimum, however, it may take a day to boot up. [:)]
A good rule of thumb is to artificially double Microsoft's minimum, and set that as the minimum.

Hi Milford;
The only reason I can think of for you to be considering W8 (at this time) is for look and feel only (the user interface). What I generally do in cases such as this, is to upgrade when I upgrade my machine or 12 to 18 months later if my current hardware will handle it. My current main machine is a Core 2 Duo with 8GB, so I will be setting my sights on a new machine within a year. Upgrading my current one to W8 will just slow it down.

Hi Unix;
I can relate to this, as I had 2 monitors and decided to give my wife one of them. I surely miss that second monitor. [:)]

When I upgraded to L4 from L3 my system met just slightly above the min. requirements but still ran wearisomely slow. The bottle neck was the dynamic video RAM that portioned off of the system RAM. So shortly after committing to the L4 upgrade I had to commit to a new laptop. [:S]
I now have an AMD Athlon II X2 M300 with 4GB of RAM. Hard disk space is not my concern since I put in a larger HD and have 2TB of external space. I’m concerned that my system may be in the same boat as in the L4 upgrade… I’m wondering if the existing RAM/video memory will be adequate.
Budgeting for L5 is reasonable but I’m not sure about having to swing for a new laptop at the same time and I certainly don’t want to miss out on the current discounts.
Also, will we be able to run L4 and L5 at the same time like we did with L3 and L4?

I can’t think of a reason to upgrade a system you currently have, Milford. However, if you do decide to upgrade your current system you can get the Pro download from Microsoft for $39.99. If you want a disc and can wait for Black Friday, Best Buy will have the Pro disc for $54.99

Don't know anything about your windows options but...
L5 overwrites L4 so they cannot co-exist on the same machine because even if you installed the L4 program on a second account it would still try to upgrade to L5 whenever you fired it up.
The only (sensible) way would be to run L4 on an XP machine - the installer is programmed not to upgrade on the XP operating system.

I failed to see that this link had already been posted. I read the OP and the last 4-5 posts and failed to see the others.

Thanks, Erwin! I appreciate your writing! Actually, I sort of really knew that all along! *smile*
Peace to you; and I will take a deep breath and put "the bells and whistles" over in the Future where they belong. and get back to a real world, eh? After all, I do have a really lovely and "snappy" Logos 5!

You can upgrade to Windows 8 pro for $40 directly from Microsoft as a download. The $69.99 is for the physical media.
